The Murder Mystery Quilt is a monthly subscription club that reads along together and stitches up a quilt to find clues and solve the murder. This is a mystery quilt in the traditional sense–you sew a block each month and the overall design of the quilt isn’t revealed until all the blocks are sewn–but it’s also a MYSTERY quilt: each month, along with the block pattern and design, you receive a chapter of a mystery story. Each chapter reveals clues as the plot unfolds, and it’s your job to seek out whodunit!

Our Approach
You are a detective.
You love a good mystery, and you love winkling out the answers to any puzzle. That's part of why you love quilts: they're pretty, pretty little puzzles that you get to assemble by hand. Kitty Campbell knows how you feel.

But now it isn't just the past that needs her help.
Kitty needs your help.
In the Murder Mystery Quilt, you'll follow along in the story as Kitty gets closer to catching the killer--and before the solution is revealed, your quilt will give the final clue to solve the crime!
