Surf’s Up Mega Mystery
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 thru the link below.


Mega Mystery Kits and Gift Cards

Two ways in. One unforgettable mystery.
Joining the Mega Mystery is easy—just choose the option that works best for you:
🧵 Option 1: $50 Mega Mystery Gift Card
Purchase the $50 Mega Mystery Gift Card and you’re automatically enrolled. Your email is registered for all mystery clues. Use the gift card whenever you like (on a kit or anything else in the shop)
🧵 Option 2: Purchase a Mystery Kit
Prefer to jump straight in? Simply purchase a Mega Mystery kit and you’re in! You’ll be enrolled and receive all mystery clues
Good to Know
- You only need one option to participate—no need to do both
- The $50 gift card is optional, not required if you purchase a kit
- If you choose the gift card, you are not required to use it toward your kit
The Fun Part… Once you’re in, the mystery begins—clues, surprises, and that magical “trust the process” moment we all love.
Both settings for Surf's Up (Hang Ten and Riptide) measure 60"x76" and feature the same beautiful fabrics. Our carefully curated kits (coming soon) 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.”
