Kim Diehl’s Mystery Stitch-Along
Jul 21st 2023
Welcome to the Simple Whatnots III Mystery Stitch-Along!
Here's how it works: This Mystery Stitch-Along will be released in eight parts. Throughout the Stitch-Along, clues and instructions are released periodically on the C&T Blog, leading everyone through the crafting journey.
Schedule:
Part 7: Friday, September 15th
Part 8: Friday, September 22nd
Follow C&T’s Facebook and Instagram pages for weekly reminders!
Each clue unveils a new part of the project, like a puzzle coming together to form a beautiful picture. The mystery lies in the excitement of not having all the details revealed upfront, adding an air of intrigue and anticipation to the experience.
In the end, when all the clues are revealed, the quilt will come together like magic, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment and wonder. It's a rewarding and creative experience that keeps you on your toes and brings out the joy of crafting in a whole new way.
