Mystery Quilt Retreat

Sewing away at the Mystery Quilt Retreat

Sewing away at the Mystery Quilt Retreat

 A fun-filled Mystery Quilt Retreat Fundraiser was held at the Amado Territory Inn on Sept. 26-28, 2008 for 31 quilters. Lots of sewing, food, chatter, and laughs for an entire weekend with the unveiling of the Mystery Quilt at the end. This fundraiser brought in $2500.

What is a Mystery Quilt? Well, each step in the creation of the quilt is turned into clues. The quilters follow the directions in the clues, but they don’t know what the finished work will look like until it is all done! By the end of the weekend, everyone has created their own variation on the pattern after which the designer’s original quilt is revealed.

This Mystery Quilt was designed by Arizona Quilter’s Hall of Fame quilter Evelyn George specifically for this fundraiser. Her pattern will be available for purchase at the Quilt for a Cause booth at the Tucson Quilt Fiesta this weekend.
