This year our creative projects team brings our Guild members a Mystery Quilt.

Like a little mystery in your quilting? Enjoy a project that develops month to month and comes together in June when all who participated present their version of this years mystery quilt. Instructions are in each Guild newsletter and every Guild meeting night the mystery quilt parts will be on display as an example of what you should have done in the current month.
