My New Adventures!

I have started a Facebook group called Mystery Quilts Anonymous for those quilters out there that can't get enough quilting done in a day, week, or year! These quilters have joined for the fun of a mystery and the comradery of a group. I design a quilt and then separate the instructions into four to six "clues" for the quilters to follow. At the end of the clues, they have a finished quilt top and had fun along the way.

A bit of history..
I started the group as a "page" thinking others could post to the page and we could just be a community of like minded people with a quilting love. As it turns out, no one but the admin could post, nothing else would show up! SO, on 4 July, 2018 I created the "group" Mystery Quilts Anonymous because I am a quiltaholic and am addicted to quilting. I love everything creative with a passion for quilts and teddy bears. I love to learn new things and share my loves with others. 

Who we are...
We are a group of quilters (men and women alike) who just love to piece and create lovely quilts for family, friends, and charities. We have grown into a beast of a group (at least for little me!!) that just loves sewing and creating together. One of our group posted this pic and said it reminded her of me with all our group following each clue with excitement!! Just love it! :-)

Who am I...
I am loving the new "adventure" and almost 2,100 quilters on this journey with me. I never dreamed this would be possible and I am humbled by the amount of quilters who love my designs and are following along with us. I already have a retreat planned here at our lovely home and another on the books in Canada and a couple more in the works in the USA. I love this! I am just a nana who loves quilting, my family, and fur babies (and of course, my teddy bears)!!

Well, that's me for today. I am going to journal this journey of ours and can't wait to watch everything unfold and be sewn together. Can't wait for the first retreat in January, 2019...

Happy sewing everyone!
