Melodic Mystery ++ Less than 1 Month Until Kickoff!

The Melodic Mystery Quilt, a free monthly mystery quilt along will kick off in less than one month on Thursday, July 7th! 

The Melodic Quilt is a free quilt-along that will run from July 2022 through April 2023 with a set of directions revealed the first Thursday of every month.

We will kick off the quilt-along on Thursday, July 7th with the fabric requirements and some helpful hints to pick fabrics and colors (you will have an entire month to gather fabrics before the cutting instructions in August).  There will also be links to optional quilt kits on July 7th.

Here are some more details about the upcoming mystery quilt...

1. Quilt-Along Instructions -The monthly instructions will always be posted to my blog as blog posts and on this main page.  Within each instructional post, there will be a link to an easy to print, downloadable version of the instructions.


2. Prizes - There are going to be prizes for the Melodic Mystery Quilt!  Details to be announced. 

3. Quilt Kits - A quilt kit is not required for this quilt along, but for those that would like that option, I am working with a number of quilt shops to offer quilt kits in variety of styles and colors.  Links to all of the kits will be posted on July 7th.

4. The Un-Mystery Quilt - There will be a sneak peek option for those that would like to see the design before deciding to join in.  This year's sneak peek will be a little different than in past years.  There will be no mailing list to signup for, the sneak peek will be available as a linked document right on this page starting Thursday, July 7th.

The only rule is that you have to keep the design completely to yourself as to not spoil anyone else's surprise.

5. Facebook Group - We have over 8,800 active members in our Facebook Group (Meadow Mist Designs Facebook Group) sewing together! Join the group today so you can share and see everyone else's fabric, progress pictures, and finished quilts.


6. Previous Mystery Quilts - The instructions for my previous mystery quilts are located in the Mystery Quilt tab above (and are always available so you can start them at any time).


7. Questions? If you have any questions regarding my mystery quilts you can e-mail me at MMDmysteryquilts@gmail.com or leave your question in a comment below.

 

Patriotic Colorways

 In honor of July 4th (in the US) coming up, I thought that I would take a few minutes to create patriotic versions of some of my patterns.  I love seeing how quilt patterns look so different with alternative colorways.

Which is your favorite?

Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup - May 2022

  Welcome to May's Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup!

May has been full of end of school activities and secret sewing so I have no Favorite Finish for this month.  But on the bright side, the Melodic Mystery quilt is getting prepped for the July kick-off and I hope everyone is looking forward to that :)

Ready for the party?  

Here is a reminder of the party details:

• The linky party will open at 12:01am EST on the last day of the month and will be open for 5 days, through the 4th at 11:59 pm EST.

• For instructions on how to link up blog, Instagram, or pictures from your computer (new - there is now a way to just upload a picture without a web link) to the party, click here.  

• If linking a blog post, I ask that you please add a link back to the party.

• Please visit at least 3 other links (and preferably leave comments) to share the love and celebration :)

I hope you join in by checking out the posts or linking your favorite finish of the month!
