Class  Description:
Come  be a part of the first ever Murder Mystery/Mystery Quilt Workshop at Thunder  Bay Resort! A heinous crime has been committed at the resort during a  beautiful fall weekend Quilt Retreat. Karen, one of the retreat coordinators,  has been brutally murdered. Who could have done such a thing to dear sweet  quiet little Karen? Was it one of her co-workers at the retreat, one of the  retreaters, one of the owners - Jack or Jan, a caddy or kitchen staff? Solve  the murder as you make a wonderful mystery quilt. Clues will be given out for  the quilt and the murder throughout the weekend. When you leave you will have  a great start on a fun and exciting quilt and maybe you will be one of the  lucky winners who solve the murder and receive a prize.

"There is nothing more rewarding than teaching others the joy of quilting," states Sherrie. "Quilting with others in a retreat setting can be so much fun and getting into solving a murder mystery at the same time adds to the entertainment!"
