Mystery Quilt-Along
Registration for the the 2025 New Year's Day
Mystery
Quilt-Along will be OPEN SOON!!
What is a Mystery Quilt-Along and
How Does it Work?
At Longarm Classroom we do things a little differently!
Most Mystery Quilts are just about the piecing. The instructions will tell you how much fabric to purchase then, over the course of either hours, days or weeks, the fabric is cut and pieced. You don't know what the quilt looks like until it is completely pieced together.
Since we are quilters - actually stitching the layers of fabrics together to make the completed quilt - our Mystery Quilts START with the pieced quilt top and it is the QUILTING that is the Mystery!
Yes, there is a cost to attend a Mystery Quilt-Along and the cost is usually discounted for early registration.
Since 2009, Longarm Classroom has had a Mystery Quilt-Along on New Year's Day. If you are a quilter, what better way is there to welcome in a New Year!

YOU get to Choose!!
When you sign up for a Longarm Classroom Mystery Quilt-Along, you receive the piecing instructions for the class project.
You piece the class project - there are usually several sizes to choose from - and have the quilt top on your quilting machine, ready for quilting, on the designated day.
On the day of the event, usually around 8 am Pacific Time - sometimes a little bit earlier - the first "Part" of the quilting will be posted on the Longarm Classroom website.
As a class participant you will receive an email when each class Part is activated. Also included is a link to the class and any other information you need to access the class.
Thorough out the day, at designated intervals, usually 1-1/2 to 2 hours apart, new Parts of the class will be added to the website. By the end of the day, ALL the class Parts will be activated and you can view the whole class!
When you sign up for the Mystery Quilt-Along you get 365 days of 24/7 access to the online class.
If you can't view the class on the designated day, you can still view the class at any time during your 360 day Registration.
For each Quilt-Along a Facebook group is created. This is a great way to post photos of your progress and to "talk" with other members of the class.
Registration will be open SOON for the 2025 New Year's Day Mystery Quilt-Along!
