Finish-A-Long Q3: What I Actually Finished

Well, not surprisingly, my list remains long. My finishes, four, are kind of sad by my standards.  To be fair, I had sprained my thumb, which took FOREVER to start healing.  I've been trying to unearth the guest bedroom which became a fabric and suitcase dumping ground this summer.  Also, I didn't stop myself from starting some new things.  I didn't expect to do the Tula quilt and just got a bit carried away.  I've had to pick and choose what got sent out to be long armed because I couldn't quilt with the thumb. So....yeah.  Also, I'm missing pictures and am just too tired to deal.  I'm a full body hive right now.  Spent a night at the ER because of an allergic reaction.


  Sewing: Progress and Finishes

1.  Violet Craft's Lion quilt (slowly hand quilting it)



2.  Milky Way Sampler, hosted by Blossom Heart Quilts (top pieced)




3.  Do.Good.Quilt, Serenity Circle, April Quilt (top pieced)



4.  Test Tank for Katie (cut)  completed, but not by me...



5.  Arrow skirt  FINISHED


6.  Triangle skirt  FINISHED


7.  Long Time Gone QAL (at long armer)



8.  Summer Solstice quilt  (top pieced)


9. quicker by dozen quilt  (top pieced)



10.  Word quilt FINISHED



11.  Vinyl zipper pouches  FINISHED AND GIFTED



12.  Tula Butterfly Quilt  (at long armer)



The next list will, of course, be insane as it includes holiday gifts among new things I've started.
I'll have a batch coming back from long armers that need to be bound....and I'm prioritizing some hospice quilts before the holidays hit.

The 2017 Q3 link for your finishes is now open below on my blog and on each of the hosting blogs - you only need to link on one blog for your finish to appear on each blog. 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 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 appropriate quarter). Feel free to and tag your photos #2017FALQ3yourname (substitute your name), this makes it easier for us to match your finishes with your lists.

• Please become part of the FAL community. Please check out the links of others and comment. We all need encouragement so let's applaud each other. The 2017 FAL Facebook page is here and follow us on Instagram @finishalong. 

• Our hosts will also link 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 thru September 30 at 11 pm EST - 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 hosts' blog.

And don't forget to start making your Q4 lists as the Q4 list link opens on October 1.
