DEBORAH MOEBES
Your Murder Mystery Quilt Hostess
Hello, and welcome to the Murder Mystery Quilt!! I am so excited you'll be part of the group in 2025. Over the past nine years, more than 11,000 unique members have taken part in the Murder Mystery Quilt and worked together to sew their quilts to solve crime. It has been such an enjoyable and exciting challenge, and I am thrilled and honored to be starting a new mystery and quilt in January! Hosting you as part of this group give me tremendous joy. I can't wait to see what you'll sew! Our year together is about a mystery and a quilt, and so much more.
Over the years, this has gone from a "fun idea" to a real community, one that blossomed with humor, generosity, friendship and true warmth. As a group of quilters, the members you'll be joining in the coming year are beyond compare: welcoming, adventurous, funny, supportive, and kind. You will find, as I have, that these are the nicest quilters on the internet, and your skills and enthusiasm for quilting are sure to grow as you work toward solving the mystery in our story--with the delightful added benefit that you'll have a whole bunch of new friends after the story is finished!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better!
USING THE SITE:
When you log on to the site each visit using the Member Login link in the top menu, you'll be automatically routed to the MEMBER HOME page. A welcome post for new members appears, with a video guide to navigating the site below it. You'll find direct links to all our bonus content, and to any past mysteries you took part in!
Please note: you will only have access to the posts included in your membership; other posts will be unavailable to you, although their titles will appear on the screen.
The sidebar contains content you might need often, including the fabric requirements; on mobile devices, the sidebar is at the BOTTOM of the page.
From the sidebar, you can access your account, where your avatar can be changed by clicking the icon. You can also head to the My Account page to update your payment method, add a brief public description about yourself, and follow threads where you've been mentioned in the forum!
FIND THE FIRST BLOCK:
The image above is a giant LINK BUTTON that leads to our 2025 project! You can find an identical button on our MEMBER HOME page, which is where you'll be automatically redirected every time you log on to the MMQ site. The content of our mystery journey is organized in a "curriculum," so you can easily see each post title, watch the content grow as the year goes along, and locate every block with ease!
Click the image above and work your way through the welcome content until you arrive at Block One. Have fun quilting!
THINGS TO KNOW:
Kitty Campbell is an intrepid, lock-picking, crime-solving botanical archaeologist. She's examining the ancient site of Machu Picchu in Peru, and discovers maybe solving crime is as rewarding as uncovering the past! Earn clues as you sew each monthly quilt block, and assemble the quilt to catch the killer and solve the case with Kitty.
Along the way, you'll learn new skills or polish up familiar ones, work with beautiful fabrics, and create a showstopper of a quilt! A few points and reminders about how things will work in 2025:
ALSO AVAILABLE: A Kit For Your Quilt!
We love supporting other small businesses like ours, and we LOVE helping you make your time with the MMQ your favorite time of day. So we've partnered with Crimson Tate Modern Quilt Fabrics to create a kit for this year's quilt! This is a separate purchase available in their shop built using the fabric requirements list included in your membership.
You can use scraps, stash, thrifted, found, or new fabrics for your quilt--or any combination of those! If you like a kit, or if you have a loved one looking to give you the perfect gift, this bundle might be the perfect solution. Find it here.
