Well I’m still working on the Q2 winners, but for now it’s time for you all to link up your Q3 lists. We got over 400 finishes in Q2, let’s keep it up gang!
Once more we have an amazing selection of prizes available from our wonderful sponsors from around the world, and don’t forget, every finish that you complete you get another entry into the prize draw!
I’ll be continuing to highlight a different sponsor each week, please stop by to visit them and thank them for their support :o)
Now, there’s a few wee rules that you have to stick to in order to be eligible for a prize, otherwise known as the small print, are you ready?
The Rules:
- At the start of each quarter there will be a linky party for you to link up your proposed list of finishes. You must link up in order to be able to be eligible for those prizes at the end.
- In order for your projects to be eligible, they must at least be a tangible project at the start of the quarter, eg at the very least, a pile of fabric pulled along with a pattern, or a quilt top needing to be quilted, or a half knit jumper. I love seeing your bee blocks, but they won’t count unless you happen to be turning them all into a fully completed quilt!
- As you complete each of your projects on your list, write a post all about it, or a description of a Flickr pic.
- At the end of the quarter, link up each individual finish post/Flickr pic to the finish party (for your final finish, it would be handy if you could link back to your original list in some way). For each finish/link you complete, you get an entry into the draw (therefore it’s in your best interest to write up a separate post for each!)
- A finish is defined as a completely finished project, eg a quilt, quilted and bound, a bag that’s fully lined and functional, or a jumper that one could wear out in public. I’m happy for you if you get a quilt top completed in one quarter, but hold onto it for the next quarter and see if you can get it quilted and bound before entering please :o)
- You won’t be punished if you don’t finish your entire list, and feel free to roll projects over from one quarter to the next (I certainly have!)
- All qualifying finishes will be put into a prize draw, and the names drawn at random for each of the prizes donated by our sponsors for that quarter.
- The finish link party will be open for a week, and then the next quarter will open on the following day.
- During the week that the finish link party is open, there will be a series of tutorials appearing here on the blog. If you’d like to contribute a tutorial, please drop me an e-mail by clicking on that wee envelope icon at the top of the screen.
- The FAL is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
If you wish, you can also post pictures in our Flickr group as you go along.

pst…it says Q2 not Q3.
That's a heap of finishes! Well done for cheering us on! And me in particular! It's working!
Thanks so much for hosting this ~ it's a great motivation and I love seeing what everyone is working on! Plus the prizes are pretty awesome!!
LOL, after linking up for the 3rd Qtr I have been looking through your posts and tutuorial for the previous quarters. I did not participate 1st Quarter so liked your post about the Q1 Stats. But I see that I also used the "naughty or nice" line on my new post! Oh well, attributing it to "great minds think alike"!! However, I am wondering will you be doing stats for the 2nd Qtr too?
Looks like I have to pull some fabric , and make a pile for at least one (or two ) new projects …looking forward to Quarter 3 !
Yo fearless leader…thanks for the shove…off the deep end!!!:)
Thanks for being the fearless leader! And a big thank you to the sponsors, they make it even more fun to get things done!
Thanks so much for hosting this! What a great motivator, and so much fun to see everyone accomplishing their goals!
Yay for all those finishes! Thanks for all your hard work. Do you really go through and check each finish? It must take you a very long time. Thank you again. I am compiling my list for Q3

Thank you Katy and sponsors! I'm thinking my list is laughable!!
