CLASS MYSTERIES DESIGNED AND SOLD BY DEBBIE CAFFREY

Debbie has designed and published mystery patterns since 1994. They have appeared in many forms such as magazine series, patterns for use by teachers, groups, and guilds for classes and retreats, also known as Mystery Patterns for Classes. Debbie also has a special series of mystery patterns that are available to shops only, Mysteries for Shops Only!

All patterns require basic rotary cutting and machine piecing skills. Techniques are diverse, interesting, simple, and precise. While some techniques are more advanced than others, no pattern contains curved seams, Y-seams, appliqué, or similar challenges.

The sizes of quilts and number of fabrics used in the quilts are just as diverse as the techniques. For obvious reasons there is no picture brochure for mysteries. Because new ones are always being designed there is an ever-changing number of mystery patterns available.

For information on hosting a mystery, please see How to Host a Mystery with Debbie Caffrey.

The information about the mysteries for classes and workshops will give you some ideas about the size of the quilt, the number of fabrics required, approximate skill level, and the amount of time I allow for teaching a class. With few exceptions, quilters will not be able to complete the quilt during class. Allow more time or sessions if your desire is that they go home with everything in one piece.

The mysteries can be seen in our booth during the International Quilt Markets. Please stop by and examine our books to choose a mystery! If you can’t attend the International Quilt Market, please contact us and we will help you select a mystery.
