Finish-A-Long Q1 Linkup Reminder

Popping in today for a quick reminder that the Quarter 1 Link Up for all your finishes closes on Monday, April 9, 2018, 11 pm EST. So you still have a few more days to finish a project or two and link them up to be eligible for prizes. The link up can be found HERE or on the blog of any of our current hosts.

A few reminders for linking up:

• Please only one finished project for each post that you link up, so that each finish can be an entry in the (random) prize draw. 
• Please include a link to your original list in each post of your finishes (on Instagram the link is the unique tag #2018FALQ1yourname to be used in the Q1 list post, and in any Q1 finish post).
• Please visit some of the other participants and leave a friendly comment, we all love to get those!

If you didn't have a chance to visit the tutorials that were posted as part of Finish-A-Long Tutorials Week, here is the schedule once more:

• April 3, 2018 - Marci of Marci Girl Designs - How to Link Up Your Instagram Photos to Inlinkz Via Your Computer

Just a short message to remind you that Lynne of Tinking Along is posting her tutorial for the Finish-A-Long tutorial week today. Her post is great for anyone wanting to sew packing bags, storage bags, or any sewing with rip-stop fabric really! So go to the "Ripstop Nylon Packing Bags Tutorial", and check it out!

And have you seen the other tutorials this week?
Marci and I posted a round up of last year's tutorials (all last year's tutes in one place), and the day before Marci posted a very clear step-by-step on how to Link up your Instagram photos to InLinkz using your computer. It may come in handy for linking up your recent finishes, or to link up your Q2 list next week!

There are a few more days left for a last-minute finish this quarter, just don't forget to link it up in time!
