Mystery Quilt Contest

Arts on Grand is having a Mystery Quilt Contest!  From January 28 - February 5, 2005, you can collect clues from the following Spencer Businesses:

BrendLees Hallmark - Clue #1
Fabric & Textile Warehouse - Clue #2
Squire Shoppe - Clue #3
Lynn Hunter Swan Interiors Clue #4 & #6
Kari's - Clue #5

The contest works like this:

  • Each clue will be sealed and marked in the order in which they should be followed
  • Each clue will list on the outside what you will need to complete the block
  • Once you have completed the first block, unseal clue #2 and follow the directions
  • Continue in this manner until all of the clues have been opened and the blocks completed according to directions

Once you've completed all of the blocks, finish the quilt in any manner you choose.  Contact Arts on Grand to obtain a "Mystery Quilt Exhibit" Contest Entry Form and see your quilt hanging in our gallery from September 22 - October 22, 2005!
Prizes (on display at Arts on Grand) have been donated by:
