Here at Quilt Connection, Etc., 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 #4, Surf’s Up. This mystery is a virtual event happening in our Mystery Five-0 Facebook Group in June and July, with the reveal in August.
A mystery clue will be emailed to registered quilters each week in July. The reveal patterns (yes, there are two choices for setting your blocks) will be emailed on July 29th. 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/quiltconnectionetcm50mystery
Quilters register to participate in Surf’s Up by purchasing $50 (or more) in-store or online, including fabric, notions, batting, classes, quilting services, or an M50 gift certificate for later use.
Both settings for Surf’s Up (Hang Ten and Riptide) measure 60”x76” and feature the same beautiful fabrics. Our carefully curated kits reveal ALL of the fabrics we’ve chosen for Surf’s Up – no mystery here – you get EXACTLY what you see. OR, if you want to dig into your stash, we will share a video (late 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.

So What's This Mystery All About???
Grab your shades, catch your breath, and thread your needle—Surf’s Up is the next wave in the Mystery Five-0 quilt series! As you stitch your way through each clue, you’ll follow fabric sleuth Lara Langston as she returns to the Hawaiian islands, where the rhythm of the ocean promises rest… and delivers anything but. After a powerful storm rolls through the coast, an unclaimed surfboard washes ashore—weathered, unfamiliar, and unlike anything the locals have ever seen. No one knows where it came from. No one knows who it belongs to. But those who’ve seen it up close can’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t shaped for ordinary waves. When whispers begin to circulate and questions go unanswered, Lara’s curiosity is impossible to ignore. With her Featherweight at the ready and her instincts sharper than ever, she begins to study the board—its lines, its markings, and the subtle details others overlook. What she discovers will pull her deeper with every clue… like a current she can’t resist. Join The Surf’s Up Mystery Quilt—because with Mystery Five-0, every stitch draws you further into the tide.

Home should be quiet.
Between quilting tours in Hawaii, Lara Langston returns to Pringle, Iowa determined to finish her half-stitched quilts and sort through Nana’s attic treasures—without stumbling into another mystery.
But when Howard “Hap” Henry, the town’s most happy-go-lucky soul, shows up at the door with worry behind his easy grin, Lara’s peaceful plans unravel.
Hap needs his birth certificate—and fast. With a passport application underway and his granddaughter’s destination wedding in Jamaica on the horizon, he’s ready for adventure… if only he can prove he was officially born.
What should be a simple search turns into a day of retracing steps, uncovering long-forgotten hiding places, and piecing together clues from a lifetime of “safe spots.” Because when you’ve trusted to luck for eighty-five years, important papers don’t always stay where you think they should.
Join Happy Go Lucky, the newest Mystery Five-0 Mini Mystery Quilt, and stitch along as Lara proves that even the smallest mystery can lead to the biggest adventure.
Because in the world of Mystery Five-0…
…luck might start the journey…
But it won’t finish it.
