Here at A Crafted Cottage, we're thrilled to bring you an exclusive quilting experience like no other! As a Charter Member of Mystery Five-0 , we're delivering extraordinary mysteries and mini-mysteries designed to spark creativity, build community, and keep you guessing. Get ready to uncover stunning quilt designs, one clue at a time!
We hope you’ll join us for the M50 Mystery #1, Aloha
This mystery is a virtual event happening in our Mystery Five-0 Facebook Group in August & September.
A mystery clue will be emailed to registered quilters each week in August. The reveal patterns (yes, there are two choices for setting your blocks) will be emailed in September. Instructional videos for each clue and the reveal patterns will be posted in our Facebook group. Join our group and watch for details at
https://www.facebook.com/groups/acraftedcottagem50mystery.
Quilters register to participate in Aloha by purchasing $50 (or more) in-store or online, including fabric, notions, batting, or M50 gift certificate. Both settings for Aloha (Aloha Spirit and Aloha Vibes) finish 56”x72” and feature 2-½” strips. Our carefully curated kits reveal ALL of the fabrics we’ve chosen for Aloha – no mystery here – you get EXACTLY what you see (photo to come).
OR, if you want to dig into your stash, we will share a video (June) in our Facebook Group that will help guide you with your fabric choices.
***While the name of the quilt is Hawaiian-themed, the design of the finished quilts are NOT.
Choose fabrics that appeal to you, and you are sure to love your finished quilt.***
As you stitch your way through four cleverly crafted clues, you’ll be accompanied by our fearless fabric sleuth, Lara Langston, on her latest adventure. This time, Lara has landed in a tropical paradise—but even paradise has secrets. With her trusty Featherweight machine and razor-sharp intuition in tow, Lara is ready to unravel the mystery one stitch at a time.
Join us for Aloha , the next sun-soaked chapter in the Mystery Five-0 quilt series!

This 15-1/2in square ruler from Creative Grids® is a great choice when working on larger blocks and T-Shirt Quilts.
- Easy to read black and white markings are printed in 1in grids marked in 1/8in and 1/4in increments.
- Use the black numbers printed on white dots and the 1/4in grip sides to cut whole inches.
- Use the Turn-a-Round feature to cut 1/2in increments by following the white numbers on black dots and 1/2in grip sides.
- The 1/4in dashed lines that are printed on two adjoining sides, aid in trimming seam allowances.
- White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the square to show the center of the ruler. Use these lines to square up blocks based on four-patches, embroidered, and appliques blocks.
- A 45 degree diagonal line makes trimming half-square triangle blocks easy and accurate.
- The ruler slides easily over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then our exclusive grip holds the fabric in place while cutting, eliminating slipping and miss-cuts.
- Scan the QR Code to view a tutorial video on these features and to see the patterns that can be made with this ruler.
