May 2026 Mystery Set, Westphalia

Last chance - Special ends tomorrow!

The May 2026 Mystery Set, Westphalia, will resume normal pricing after tomorrow ($281 instead of $70 for the full set, and $142 instead of $36 for the mini set). If you haven't already taken the plunge, don't miss the last chance for fun and savings!!

What are quilters saying about it?

There are lots of comments on our page. Here are just a few:

I tried to save the budget a couple times by buying the small set, only to discover down the road that the design I really wanted to use was in the larger set! Lesson learned- go for the big set!

Got the May set, look forward to the November e2e set!

I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve offered this time. I’ve gotten your previous sets, and they’ve been great to work with.

And a couple reviews on the website:

Mini set: The mini has such a nice variety, and I simply cannot wait to try them all out! Thank you for another awesome mystery set.

Full set: My favorite mystery set so far!

What is it?

Our biannual Mystery Sets are exceptional new designs sold at a substantial discount. However... You don't get to see the patterns until you purchase them! It's exciting and fun, and who doesn't love a little mystery?!

What do you get?

Option #1: Nineteen patterns total, which includes four borders, four border corners, three sashings, three sashing corners, and five edge-to-edges. Everything you need for all-over quilting in one special set!!

Option #2: Thirty-three patterns total, which includes all of Option #1 PLUS five blocks, three half blocks, three quarter blocks, and three triangle blocks. Everything you need for custom quilting in one special set!!

What does it cost?

The Mystery Set is 75% off, which means each pattern is less than $3!!! This special offer is only available for one week, then the set will resume normal pricing - so don't miss out!

Option #1: costs $36 (regular $142)

Option #2: costs $70 (regular $281)

And rest assured that our commitment to customer satisfaction remains firm, so this is a worry-free mystery!!

Just a quick note: We received requests in the past for edge-to-edge only mystery sets, which we subsequently released last year. But then we received requests to go back to a traditional set with blocks, borders, sashings, edge-to-edges, etc. SO, this May the Mystery Set is traditional AND in November it will be edge-to-edge only. That way everyone can participate in their preferred mystery. Of course, we love them all ;)

Still not sure? Here are some reviews from our last traditional Mystery Set (December 2024, Alyssa):

Mini Set:

"I just love this mini set! I have used these beautiful E2Es and borders in many my quilts this past year. Great value for a great price!"



Another quilter says "Very pretty assortment of designs that I'll use over and over again. I have already stitched out two E2E, and have plans for two others. I'm never disappointed with any of the sets. Keep up the great work!"

And "I love this mystery set and already used it on a quilt of mine!"

Full Set:

"A bigger set that I really loved and bought. I used patterns from this set to custom quilt my quilt and love it."

Another quilter says "Just purchased the new mystery set today, as always sooo many beautiful designs to pick from and use. Thank You for the wonderful Alyssa set."

And "Super excited to use these designs love how they quilt!"

New $6 special! - Element Edge-to-Edge

Element Edge-to-Edge captures the extremes of fire and water, burning up or cooling down your next quilt top! We couldn't choose between the two versions, so both are included in one download (because with quilting, more is always better ;). As you can see from the pictures below, our beta testers stitched the design on a variety of quilt tops: traditional, modern, patriotic, panel, simple, busy, loaded long-wise or not, and the final result was always fabulous!

Thank you to our testers Anne Hurlburt, Christy Herzog, Corey Pearson, Janet Hoeltzel, Kim LeBlanc, Michelle Kloeti, Mona Houle, Sharon Gower, Sheryl Bullman, Sonya Chinn, and Tracey Jeffery!

Upcoming Special!

New Mystery Set - May 27th

A new Mystery Set will drop next Wednesday, May 27th! We will release a new set of exceptional designs, sold at a substantial discount of 75% off! However... You don't get to see the patterns until you purchase them! It's exciting and fun, and who doesn't love a little mystery?!

We only offer our Mystery Sets twice a year, around Memorial Day (May), and on Cyber-Monday (Nov). Each set is new, unique, and released as a special only once. Our extremely popular and exceptionally well rated Mystery Sets are a fantastic value, and so much fun!

Just a quick note on what type of patterns the set contains. We received requests in the past for edge-to-edge only mystery sets, which we subsequently released for the last two mysteries. But then we received requests to go back to a traditional set with blocks, borders, sashings, edge-to-edges, etc. SO, this May the Mystery Set is traditional AND in November it will be edge-to-edge only. Our hope is that everyone can participate in their preferred mystery this way. Of course, we love them all ;)

Treasure Hunt!

The current treasure hunt will run for another week before resuming normal pricing. Just in case you missed it last week: For this treasure hunt, we will pick one pattern on the website and mark down the price to $1. It won't be listed as on sale, as that would make it easy to spot!

And we will give you a second little hint: You don't need to play the piano to enjoy this cute border...

Featured $14 pattern - Musical Edge-to-Edge

Musical Edge-to-Edge is one of our five star patterns. That means it has at least five reviews that are "five star!"

One reviewer says "One of the most beautiful designs I’ve stitched. My client loves it. I love just watching my machine stitch with this design because it’s so intricate but still stitches pretty quickly. Well worth it."



And "This was a gift for a very musically talented friend. We knew the quilting had to be special too. This pattern was perfect in every way."

Another quilter says "I used this on a Quilt of Valor for a veteran in the armed forces who is also a musician, a trombone player. I used a variegated red, white and blue thread. This was the PERFECT combination of musical and military with the star. Great pattern. Easy to stitch out. FIVE STARS!!"
