Get ready for quilting fun like never before! The Stitch is excited to partner as a proud Charter Member of Mystery Five-0, bringing you creative mysteries and mini-mysteries packed with clues that’ll keep you on your toes. Spark your creativity, connect with fellow quilters, and unravel stunning quilt designs, one clue at a time—let’s keep the mystery going ‘til the very last stitch!

We hope you’ll join us for the M50 Mini-Mystery, Lucky Break. This mystery is a virtual event happening in our Mystery Five-0 Facebook Group on Saturday, January 10th. Join our group and watch for details at M50 Mystery: the Stitch

Lucky Break Mini-Mystery is completely FREE for you to join. The quilt requires six (6) fat quarters or (6) quarter-yard cuts, and will result in a 16”x40” table runner or door hanger. You can select from our carefully curated fat quarter bundles that will look great in Lucky Break.

OR, if you want to dig into your stash, we will share a video in our Facebook Group that will help guide you with your fabric choices. 

Think Lara Langston might finally catch a break? Think again.

Between quilting tours in Hawaii, Lara stays behind to soak up the island sunshine, finish her Aloha and Island Hopping quilts, and maybe—just maybe—avoid another mystery. But when a chance encounter leads to an unexpected discovery, her quiet retreat takes another turn toward the unknown.

With her Featherweight by her side and her instincts sharper than ever, Lara once again finds herself piecing together more than just fabric. Every clue she stitches brings her closer to uncovering what—or who—has been hiding in plain sight.

Join Lucky Break, the newest Mystery Five-0 Mini Mystery Quilt, and sew along as Lara proves that sometimes a “break” is just the beginning of another unforgettable case.

Because in the world of Mystery Five-0…

…luck has nothing to do with it.

We hope you’ll join us for the M50 Mystery #2, Island Hopping

This mystery is a virtual event happening in our Mystery Five-0 Facebook Group in October and November, with the reveal in December. A mystery clue will be emailed to registered quilters each week in November. The reveal patterns (yes, there are two choices for setting your blocks) will be emailed in December. Instructional videos for each clue and the reveal patterns will be posted in our Facebook group. Join our group and watch for details at M50 Mystery: the Stitch

So What's This Mystery All About???

Pack your bags and your sewing kit—Island Hopping is the next sun-soaked chapter in the Mystery Five-0 quilt series!

As you stitch through four cleverly crafted clues, you’ll once again be guided by our fearless fabric sleuth, Lara Langston, as she returns to Hawaii as travel director for a quilter’s island-hopping tour. Between breathtaking views and fabric-filled fun, Lara finds herself drawn into a decade-old cold case—a puzzle entrusted to her by longtime friend and FBI Cold Case agent, Dexter Ambrose.

Armed with her trusty Featherweight machine, sharp intuition, and a knack for seeing patterns others miss, Lara balances quilting adventures with uncovering long-hidden truths. Join the Island Hopping Mystery Quilt—because with Mystery Five-0, your next clue is always just a seam away!

Quilters register to participate in Island Hopping by purchasing a $50 M50 gift certificate for later use.  Both settings for Island Hopping differ in size (Island Hopping Vacation 68.5”x86.5” and Island Hopping Adventure 71.75”x91.75”) and feature seasonal or holiday fabrics. Our carefully curated kits reveal ALL of the fabrics we’ve chosen for Island Hopping – no mystery here – you get EXACTLY what you see. OR, if you want to dig into your stash, we will share a video (late October) in our Facebook Group that will help guide you with your fabric choices. While the name of the quilt is Hawaiian-themed, the design of the finished quilts are NOT. Choose fabrics that appeal to you, and you are sure to love your finished quilt.
