October 31st was Halloween and what would that be without a Mystery Quilt! 11 Quilters showed up for the fun and unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the costumes that some of us came in but you can check them out on Elaine's blog I'm sure! http://elaine9703.livejournal.com/
I gave out the first 2 clues and everyone got to work while I took the dinner orders.....
Kathy helped in the kitchen and that way we got dinner on the table pretty quickly.......
The condiments were taken from the "witches" back room.......
...and dessert was served on the witches special tray......I mean how else do you serve "Poison" cupcakes.......
Everyone worked very hard.........(even Libby got to clue 3 of 10!)
...and after the 10th clue - I revealed the Mystery.......
What I love about a Mystery Quilt is that everyone's is so unique.....This is Lucie's top finished! Her focus fabric is a Safari Animal Print - really nice!
This is Elaine and I messing around taking pictures of each other taking pictures........you can see the other side of this picture on her blog....
This is Elaine's - reminds me of a bumblebee! It came out great and I really like her choice for borders......
This one is Claire's - she used Betty Boop as her feature fabric - it's great and she managed to find some great borders in the store to go with it.......
This is Marion's fabric - they had it up on the design wall but I was in the kitchen cleaning - ugh!
This one is Liz's and it's almost finished.......great feature fabric too!
Raili almost managed to complete her top and her focus fabric is gorgeous!
Karen was ahead of us all - she was working on two quilts at once - can't wait to see these done! One of them has 2 focus fabrics!
Kathy has her top finished and the first (possibly last) border on! It's really hard to see the fact that the blue fabrics are all different Indigo designs which she got from Callisti Quilts.....(sp.)
She's also just getting backing for last year's Halloween Mystery which she just completed - way to go Kathy! 
I think the ladies all had a great time and have left with some pretty awesome quilt tops almost completed.......If you've never tried one of our Mystery Quilt nights - they really are a lot of fun and we keep them fairly easy and achievable in an evening.......so the next time you see it on the"menu" don't be afraid to sign up!
Happy Quilting!
