2020 NYE Mystery Quilt – Fabric Requirements
Well, it’s getting to that time again. What time you ask? New Years Eve Mystery Quilt time, of course. I’ve designed a new quilt just for this event. The first clue will drop at 3 am Las Vegas time on Dec. 31st. The mystery will use 2 different fabrics – Color A and Color B. Color A needs to be a dark fabric. Color B needs to be a light fabric. You can make it scrappy in lights and darks. If you have a dark fabric that has a large print you can use it for Fabric A. The quilt without borders will be 48″x 60″/122cm x 152cm. With the borders the quilt will be 60″x 72″ / 152cm x 183cm. The PDF for the fabric requirements, cutting directions and pre-sew is available at this link. Yes you need to pre-sew some half square triangles.

TTFN – That’s Ta Ta For Now.
Whacha up to?
Greetings to One and All!
Well there’s one saying that my Mom’s Dad, my Bedstefra (grandfather) would say, “Change is something you can always depend on. Nothing will stay the same.” Well that’s my life. If you want to make GOD laugh, tell HIM your plans.
Well everyone knows that 2020 sucks. I was laid off from the 2 jobs I was working 70 hours a week. My DBF Mom, ended up in the hospital on Wed., June 3rd with a heart issue. If it wasn’t for me pushing the doctor to check her heart, she would have been dead by Saturday. Word to the wise…if someone says they can’t catch their breath or they are having a hard time breathing…get them to the ER immediately. Now Mom is doing well and I’m keeping an eagle eye on her and Dad who had dementia.
So in between losing my jobs and now. I’ve been busy. I’ve started writing knitting and quilting patterns again. There will be a 2020 NYE Mystery Quilt where? Right here! The fabric requirements will be posted early November. The written and video clues will be posted here on New Year’s Eve morning.
Recently a 26# bundle of undyed yard ended up on my doorstep all the way from the UK. It is some of the most luxuriously soft wool yarn that I’ve every come across. You know that some colors need to go on that yarn. And yes, they will be for sale.
I’ve taken online courses on how to do You Tube videos. I’ve spent more money on camera and equipment this summer than I have for the last 2 decades. If you told me 10 years ago that I would be filming, editing and uploading videos to You Tube, I would have told you that you were NUTS. Yesterday, I’ve just uploading my 4th video to You Tube on 26# of undyed yarn that I’ve received from the UK. This is some of the softest wool that I’ve touched. I’m an aspie. I don’t like anything scratchy. The way I figure it, if I don’t like it neither would my customers. My channel is Susie Rose Designs. Here’s my first video. You got to start somewhere.
TTFN! That’s Ta Ta For Now!

2014 NYE Mystery Quilt-A-Long – Pre-Sewing Instructions
Hello to One and All!
Here’s the pre – mystery sewing directions. They are clues #1 & #2 of the mystery. So since I’ll be posting the mystery starting at 3am PT and there will be only 8 clues that we will be posted on NYE, the 10th clue (last clue) will be posted at 10am. This will allow for some nap time before the festivities. After clue #3 is posted on NYE, which will be out first clue of the day, I will post all of the designer’s instructions up to that point. Then I will post clue #4 at 4 am. Clue #5 at 5 and so on. I will also add an album to the groups for everyone to post their quilt pictures and on my blog.
Three Quilt Sizes
This quilt pattern is available in three sizes:
Comfort – 77” x 77”, Twin Quilt – 77” x 98” and Full Quilt – 98” x 98”
You should have 10 plastic bags labeled A through J with little bit of fabric in them. Now to begin the pre – mystery sewing.
Sewing instructions….
Make the following Units
These pieces are small.
Press to the dark.
I recommend finger pressing these small squares rather than pressing with the iron. Less distortion.
Plus you can finger press while you take a break.
