Today a quick reminder that the Quarter 3 link up for your finishes closes on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 at 11 pm EST.  So you still have a few more days to finish that project (or two?) and link them up to be eligible for prizes.  The link up can be found HERE or on any of the other 2019 FAL hosts blogs.


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 #2019FALQ3yourname to be used in the Q3 list post, and in any Q3 finish post).
• Please visit some of the other participants and leave a friendly comment, we all love to get those! 

I also wanted to share with you that we just wrapped up "Tutorial Week" which has been part of the Finish-A-Long since its inception.  The tutorials are varied, interesting, and usually helpful, so take some time to investigate and visit the blogs below!

• October 2, 2019 - Leanne of She Can Quilt - Super Quick Produce Grocery Bags
• October 3, 2019 - Lynne of Tinking Along - Selvage Hotpad Tutorial
• October 4, 2019 - Sarah of Sarah Goer Quilts - Scrappy Pumpkin Quilt Block Tutorial
• October 5, 2019 - Ella of Throw a Wench in the Works - How I do Needle Turn Applique: A Low Key Guide

And whether you had a lot of finishes, or none at all this quarter, or you missed Finish-A-Long Q3 altogether, you can always join in for Quarter 4 which is taking off on October 10th, with the link up opening for your List of Proposed Finishes. We hope you will join us!

Link up your Q3 Finish-A-Long finishes now

Is it just me, or has this summer flown by faster than ever?!
It is already October, and so we have reached the end of Quarter 3 of the 2019 Finish-A-Long!! Of course, this means that it is now time to link up your finishes from the list you linked up in July. We hope that you have been able to complete a lot of the UFOs from your list and if you haven't, we'll do it all over again for Quarter 4...

The 2019 Quarter 3 link for your finishes is now open below on this blog and on each of the hosting blogs - you only need to link on one blog for your finish to appear on all host blogs.

Link-up "Rules":

Add one link for each finish.  If you want to link a round up post of all your finishes, use that link to enter one of your finishes and then link the rest of your finishes separately.  Please, only one link per finish, as your link is an entry into the randomly drawn prize draws. 

Please ensure that the photo (Instagram or Flickr) or blog post you link up contains a link or reference back to your original list so that we can verify your entry (make sure it is from the right quarter, too). On Instagram the best way to do that is to tag your photos with #2019FALQ3yourname (where yourname is unique to you), this makes it easier for us to match your finishes with your list, which also should have this tag.

Please become part of the FAL community.  Check out the links of others and leave a comment. We all need encouragement so let's applaud each other.  The 2019 FAL Facebook page is HERE and you can follow us on Instagram @finishalong.

Our hosts will also link up their finishes to share in the community but they are not eligible for any of the prizes.

The Q3 Finishes link will stay open from now until 11 pm, EST, Wednesday, October 9, 2019 - as we are global, you might want to check your time zone to determine your last possible time to link. You can also see how much time is left below the linked up images on the right.  It is best to link up your finishes early and if you have a last minute one, add that one later so you don't miss out.  The prizes will be awarded as soon as we can verify all the entries and do the drawings.  We will post the winners on each host's blog.

Lastly, don't forget to start making your Q4 list as the next LIST link-up opens on Thursday, October 10, 2019.

My Finish-A-Long list for Q3

Hello everyone!
Did you see that the link-up for the third quarter of the Finish-A-Long is open? Did you link up yet?

This is my post to link up my list of unfinished projects for this quarter. As you will see, my list is not getting any shorter. I did not finish a single project this quarter, and worse, I added new projects, too!
Surely I am not the only one that gets sidetracked by lovely new ideas?!

So this is my current list (find the free planner if you're interested):

I added my latest update in orange, can you tell I like my list to be colourful?

So here are the Q3 details:

• Feathered Star quilt - top done:

• Cubes quilt - almost quilted:

• Log Cabin quilt - top done:

• Black and White quilt - top done:

• Logo quilt - top done:

• Curved Log Cabin with Corner Geese - top done (I know, ANOTHER log cabin quilt!):

• And in the last few days I started a top. I used the Shirt No.1 pattern from 100 Acts of Sewing, and adapted it. Full blog post to follow once it can be worn, which will be very soon: 

• And lastly, I finally got a new ruler. For a long time I had ideas to play with 60° triangles, and now I will. Another quilt on the way!

So, my list is growing, but I'm sure at least one project will be done this quarter.
I intend to be sewing, sewing, sewing this summer!

Linking up at the Q3 list linkup.
