They cut, they sew and they create. But some women who have been working on a quilt since September still don't know how it will turn out.
Some of the quilters didn't know each other - but they did already know their craft - before signing up for Sarah Ussery's class at The Cherry Pit in Sevierville.
Anne Holmes enjoys it.
"Every class you take, I don't care how long you have quilted, you learn something new. You share an idea. You see a new pattern. It's an adventure. It really is," she said.
The Cherry Pit features more than 4,000 bolts of fabric, each one with the potential to become a beautiful quilt.
"People like different fabrics, different colors. You have what we call Civil War, which is dark colors. Then you have the bright colors. So people are unique. They like different things," Jan Stinson said. She is the owner of The Cherry Pit.
They also like some of the same things quilting offers.
"I taught math for years and I like the mathematics part of it. I love to see how the fabric goes together," Anne said.
Instructor Sarah Ussery said, "I like seeing that puzzle come together and I think anybody who likes to do puzzles maybe would like to be a quilter. It's fun to see that end product come together just like they're going to be seeing this end product in April and I think they'll be thrilled."
That's right — they don't know what the end product will look like. They are each sewing a mystery quilt.
"Well, it is a mystery because I'm still trying to figure out what it's going to look like when it gets done," one of the quilters joked.
They started with the fabric Sarah selected and an instruction sheet.
"It tells them what they need to cut for those fabrics. Then they put that away. And next month they come and cut something else. And probably - this is an eight-month mystery quilt, so probably next month we will start putting it together," she explained.
Anne said, "I have no idea what we are doing. And it's such fun."
Jan said, "They know they are going to have a good product at the end, they just don't know what it's going to look like. And I think that is the unique part about it. They come in here and sew, do what the teacher says, and then oh look what I've got at the end."
Mystery solved.
The Mystery Quilt project is just one of the many classes at the The Cherry Pit in Sevierville.
