Description:
Originally released as four individual embroidered patterns, The Mystery of the Salem Quilt Guild is Meg Hawkey's celebration of the quilt guilds she's been a part of and worked with themed to the spirit of the Halloween season. With the "witches" drawn by Meg herself, she began to, whether intentionally or not, recognize the different types of guild members she's been with over the years and saw them start to come to life in this quilt, hence the title. Not to be overlooked either is the spooky quilting, including creative cobweb designs, done by Wendy Iris to bring out the Halloween theme in full effect.
Artist Statement: "The mystery is finally solved! Just a couple more blocks to stitch for the border... a little bit of applique.... four embroidered covered buttons.... some magically simple border blocks (using "always available" Bella Solids from Moda), and the witches quilt guild meeting is complete! OH! I almost forgot! There's a spell book quilt label included too!"
