So What's This Mystery All About??
Home should be quiet.
Between quilting tours in Hawaii, Lara Langston returns to Pringle, Iowa determined to finish her half-stitched quilts and sort through Nana’s attic treasures—without stumbling into another mystery.
But when Howard “Hap” Henry, the town’s most happy-go-lucky soul, shows up at the door with worry behind his easy grin, Lara’s peaceful plans unravel.
Hap needs his birth certificate—and fast. With a passport application underway and his granddaughter’s destination wedding in Jamaica on the horizon, he’s ready for adventure… if only he can prove he was officially born.
What should be a simple search turns into a day of retracing steps, uncovering long-forgotten hiding places, and piecing together clues from a lifetime of “safe spots.” Because when you’ve trusted to luck for eighty-five years, important papers don’t always stay where you think they should.
Join Happy Go Lucky, the newest Mystery Five-0 Mini Mystery Quilt, and stitch along as Lara proves that even the smallest mystery can lead to the biggest adventure.
Because in the world of Mystery Five-0…
…luck might start the journey…
But it won’t finish it.
Laua: Delve into Mystery Five-0's newest enigma!
Please join us for the M50 Mega-Mystery #3
This mystery is a virtual event happening in our Mystery Five-0 Facebook Group in February and March, with the
reveal in April.
A mystery clue will be emailed to registered quilters each week in March. The reveal patterns (yes, there are two choices for setting your blocks) will be emailed in April.
Instructional videos for each clue and the reveal patterns will be posted in our Facebook group.
Quilters register to participate in Luau by purchasing $50 (or more) in-store or online.
While the two settings for Luau differ in size (Luau Torches 65”x83” and Luau Feast 75”x75”) they feature the same SEVEN beautiful fabrics.
Our carefully curated kits reveal ALL of the fabrics we’ve chosen for Luau – no mystery here – you get EXACTLY what you see.
OR, if you want to dig into your stash, we will share a video (late February) 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??
Slip on your sandals, and thread your needle—Luau is the next unforgettable chapter in the Mystery Five-0 quilt series!
As you stitch through four beautifully crafted clues, you’ll follow our intrepid fabric sleuth, Lara Langston, during a quiet stay on Maui between island-hopping tour seasons. She plans to finish her quilts… but the islands have other ideas.
One morning, a hand-made luau invitation—from an event discontinued fifty years ago—appears mysteriously beneath Lara’s door. Everyone connected to the old gathering is long gone… or so the island believes.
Why was Lara chosen to receive this relic from the past? And who delivered it in the dead of night?
Armed with her Featherweight, fierce curiosity, and an uncanny eye for the details others overlook, Lara is once again pulled into a puzzle only she can piece together.
Between sunsets, stitching sessions, and unexpected clues, this Maui mystery unfolds one seam at a time.
Join the Luau Mystery Quilt—because with Mystery Five-0, every stitch leads you deeper into the story.
