Mystery Quilt – Piazza

Welcome to the second Mystery Quilt launch of 2022.

This Mystery Quilt is called Piazza and follows a theme of Italian Piazza’s each one named after a different one. I enlisted the help of my well travelled sis to come up with the names for each of these. Yes I even have her working when she is on the road visiting all these lovely sites.

As always Sheila Christensen has done an amazing job on creating yet another stunning quilt design, but you will have to wait until the end to see how this Mystery Quilt turns out. I can assure you though it is gorgeous.

The only thing for you to decide really is which fabric selection sings to you, we have been working hard together to bring you a set of four fabric collections that work well with the pattern and really brings out the best of each fabric.

What is a Mystery Quilt?

If you have never heard of the Mystery Quilt then let me fill you in with what is on offer. This is a quilt designed by Sheila Christensen @mysteryquilter and it is a puzzle quilt over 10 months.

Each parcel contains that month’s puzzle instructions and all the pre-cut fabric pieces to make the blocks. Pieces are kept simple: triangles, squares and rectangles and at the end the final puzzle is revealed to give you a beautiful finished quilt top.

It is a Mystery or puzzle as you don’t know what the finished quilt will look like until the final reveal, but the quilts are very cleverly designed by Sheila and always turn out fabulous. You can read more about your options below or head straight to the Buy Me link

What are my options?

Each of these four colourways I have carefully selected for you to choose from so I hope you see something that takes your fancy?

Here is a closer look at the fabrics chosen for this Mystery Quilt.

Colonna

My first Mystery Quilt choice for Piazza is called Colonna and features a selection of warm tones from Alison Glass’s Between fabric collection.

For the purposes of the illustration the fabric around the circle represents the binding fabric. This may also be a duplicate of a fabric within the quilt top.

Here is a closer look at all the fabrics contained within this quilt.

This one is for me!

Erbe

Here I have chosen some ditzy floral fabrics from Amelia by Makower Fabrics. They were just too sweet to pass up and the tiny print works really well for Mystery Quilt.

Here is a closer look at all the fabrics contained within this quilt.

This one is for me!

Rotonda

This colourway brings some cooler tones from the Between collection by Alison Glass. These gorgeous blues and aquas just look stunning together.

Here is a closer look at all the fabrics contained within this quilt.

This one is for me!

San Pietro

Here I have a funky twist on a monochrome colour scheme. Featuring some of the Beguiled black and white prints from Libs Elliot collection when she was with Andover fabrics.

This one is definitely a bright one and I only have very limited stock on this one so don’t hesitate if this takes your fancy.

Here is a closer look at all the fabrics contained within this quilt.

This one is for me!

You may see that some of these quilt options appear similar to the ones from Cotton Cuts, but each has a slightly different twist with my fabric placements. I have given these different names so you do not get them mixed up. Sometimes we run the same lines but this time we have different ones and ones with a personal MQC twist.

Mystery Quilt – Sew Sweet


Here we are at the launch of the next Mystery Quilt and this one is called Sew Sweet. It features three different colour ways from me all based on donut names.

I’ve gone a little traditional with naming each of my quilts as I am not a big donut connoisseur and was brought up on a traditional strawberry jam donut if it was a treat otherwise it was one of those lovely warm seaside donuts covered in sugar!

What is a Mystery Quilt?

If you have never heard of the Mystery Quilt then let me fill you in with what is on offer. This is a quilt designed by Sheila Christensen @mysteryquilter and it is a puzzle quilt over 10 months.

Each parcel contains that month’s puzzle instructions and all the pre-cut fabric pieces to make the blocks. Pieces are kept simple: triangles, squares and rectangles and at the end the final puzzle is revealed to give you a beautiful finished quilt top.

What are my options?

Each of these three colourways I have carefully selected for you to choose from so I hope you see something that takes your fancy?

Here is a closer look at the fabrics chosen for this Mystery Quilt.

Custard Pie

My first Sew Sweet Mystery Quilt is from Katarina Roccella’s fabric line called Twenty. It is for Art Gallery Fabrics so is that gorgeous soft fabric that I loved in my last MQ.

This may seem a little out of the ordinary from my usual choices but when I saw the quilt design for this one, I really loved it and knew you all would too.

For the purposes of the illustration the fabric around the circle represents the binding fabric. This may also be a duplicate of a fabric within the quilt top.

Here is a closer look at all the fabrics contained within this quilt.

Hey Sugar

My second fabric option is from Patty Sloniger for Andover Fabrics and is from the Flora and Fauna fabric collection.

I almost missed this fabric line and just managed to order it in time for it to be included in this Mystery Quilt as I just knew it would work beautifully.

Again here is a closer look at all the fabrics included in the quilt kit.

That’s my Jam

My final offering is actually the fabric I ordered first. I took a bit of a gamble as I really did take a shine to this whole collection when I saw it.

I ordered Henna from Beth Studley for Makower Fabrics long before the quilt had even been designed. Again another option that has paid off rather well as I can say these look fab in the finished design.

The beautiful jewel tones of purples, pinks and teals work so well together to give a bright modern quilt.

A closed look at my final selection of fabrics for this Mystery Quilt.

Mystery Quilt – Olympia


Wow where is 2021 going? The launch of the second Mystery Quilt is almost upon us and I’m excited to share my fabric choices with you all.

The quilt for Summer/Autumn 2021 is called Olympia and each of my three colourway options are named after British female medal winners. I chose to celebrate some of our most successful athletes by honouring them with their very own Mystery Quilt. More on that when I introduce each colourway.

What is a Mystery Quilt?

If you have never heard of the Mystery Quilt then let me fill you in with what is on offer. This is a quilt designed by Sheila Christensen @mysteryquilter and it is a puzzle quilt over 10 months.

Each parcel contains that month’s puzzle instructions and all the pre-cut fabric pieces to make the blocks. Pieces are kept simple: triangles, squares and rectangles and at the end the final puzzle is revealed to give you a beautiful finished quilt top.

It is a Mystery or puzzle as you don’t know what the finished quilt will look like until the final reveal, but the quilts are very cleverly designed by Sheila and always turn out fabulous.

What are my options?

Each of these three colourways I have carefully selected for you to choose from so I hope you see something that takes your fancy?

Laura

Laura Kenny (néeTrott) is GB’s most successful Olympic female competitor in any sport. She has four Gold medals in her discipline of cycling.

This colourway I selected for Laura is a combination of some of my favourite Trinket prints with some amazing coordinating prints from Sunprints 2019, 2020 & 2021.

I just love how the Alison Glass prints work so well together across all these collections.

Charlotte

Charlotte Dujardin is a British dressage rider and is GB’s most successful Olympic equestrian. She holds three gold and one silver medal.

This collection named after Charlotte is using Amy Sinibaldi’s Little Town fabric, my first Art Gallery Fabric collection and my first Christmas themed Mystery too!

I know that this is going to be super popular already and I can see me needing to order more fabrics. The beauty of AGF mean that I can repeat orders and I am not limited like I am with more traditional fabric ordering methods.

Katherine

Katherine Grainger is one of GB’s most decorated female Olympians. She holds five olympic medals in total. She has a gold medal and four silver medals spanning a rowing career from 2000 through to 2016.

I chose Katherine to represent another Alison Glass collection, this time we have a range of purples with blues and greens.

A combination of floral ditzy prints alongside her trademark motif prints featuring birds, boats, scissors and everything in between.

Fraktal Quilt Kit

A Quilt Collaboration

This is the first quilt kit collaboration between myself and Paula Steel of PaulaSteelQuilts.

This rainbowtastic quilt has been designed to incorporate all 12 of Libs Elliotts’ Phosphor fabrics to create a gorgeous 72½”  quilt.

  • Fraktal Dark
  • Fraktal Light

The kit comes in a choice off either Dark background using Makower Linen Texture in Navy. Or a Light background using a pure white solid.

The pattern uses simple half square triangles, flying geese, strips and squares, this will prove a great quilt for beginners and experienced quilters alike.

If you need some extra help or just fancy being part of the gang then we’ll be running a Sew Along in January, with lots of tips and tricks.

#Fraktalsal

The full fabric collection is now in stock so no need to delay you can order your kit immediately.

The total quilt kit includes:

  • A4 full colour pattern booklet
  • 12 Phosphor fat quarters
  • 4m of background fabric
  • A mini roll of 12 x 2.5″ strips of each Phosphor print

We think this would make a cute rainbow binding, or you can save it for yourself.

The price is £105 + postage costs and is available in the UK & Internationally.

If you were lucky enough to pre-order you fabrics and you already have a gorgeous Fat Quarter Bundle of Phosphor, or any other rainbow print then you can now order the stand alone pattern too. We have a very limited number of printed patterns or you can opt for a PDF download.

RETREAT TICKETS

Mystery Quilt sewing group

Do you fancy joining my sewing gang?

Have you always fancied learning to Quilt but not sure where to begin? Do you have a sewing machine that you’ve been meaning to dust off and get back to some creating but not sure where to start?

Well I have just the answer to get you back into stitching and I’d like your input please.

I run a monthly Quilt club where over 10 months you receive all fabrics pre-cut to sew up individual sections, all with simple laid out instructions. and in the final month you receive instructions to complete the quilt top.

From my experience I know there will be lots of you out there who’ve been wanting to have a go at patchwork or try your first Quilt. Usually people think of quilts made from babygrows or kids old clothes for a memory Quilt, DON’T DO IT, they’re not easy and could put you off for life.

Mystery quilt is great because it all comes pre-cut, did I mention that already? So all you need is to pick up the pieces and start sewing.

Is a Sewing group for you?

So I thought it would be nice to set up a sewing group as I know it can be scary taking that first step.

A relaxed, friendly group for everyone of all abilities to enjoy. No patchwork experience necessary, just a basic knowledge of how to work your sewing machine.

I’m planning to hire a room where you can bring along your machine & your Quilt box and I will guide you through sewing the blocks. Showing you the basic principles of patchwork sewing along the way. Giving you confidence to create your own quilt.

What you would need:
Your own sewing machine
1/4″ patchwork foot with or without a guide
Basic sewing kit: scissors, threads, spare machine needles
A subscription to my mystery quilt
A basic knowledge of how to use a sewing machine.

What I would provide:
A room located in Leeds for us to sew together with tables and chairs, electricity cables, ironing stations, and most importantly teas, coffees & biscuits.
The knowledge to guide you through constructing the blocks and following the pattern instructions.
Hints and tips on general patchwork techniques

Survey

I’d love it if you could please fill out this short survey so that I can get an idea of numbers. I’ve a few options available and need an idea of the direction to take. So with your help we might just have a new Leeds based sewing group.
