 Each month, there will be a random drawing from those who joined both the finish link-up and the goal link-up to select 3 participants who will win a prize from our sponsors!  Fat Quarter Shop and Make Modern magazine along with a featured designer are providing prizes each month.

 At the end of each quarter (i.e. March, June, September & December), an extra prize will be awarded randomly from those who met their goals in any/all of the 3 months in that quarter.  Aurifil and Green Fairy Quilts have provided prizes for the quarterly winners.

 Finally, each time you join the linkup, you earn an entry into the Grand Finale prize drawing! Link up in the goal setting and the finish linkup each month of the year earns 24 entries into the Grand Finale prize drawing. Link up goals one month but never quite got to the finish?  You still earn an entry for participating in the goal link up!  Fat Quarter Shop and C&T Publishing are offering prizes for the grand finale.

  5. I want to post from IG instead of flickr. So does that mean if I use the # and @ from IG I don't have to post on the linkup page?

  9. I was too late to do the link up at the beginning of January. I hope I can figure it out for February. I have never done a Linky thing. Hoping this very old quilter can learn this new trick.8-) My 'word' for 2018 is 'Finish', so this would really help with that.
