Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup - April 2019

Welcome to April's Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup!


I have been busy with spring break, my first ever quilting retreat, and preparing to teach at the NC Quilt Symposium.  I have had a few finishes, but unfortunately I have to keep those under wraps for a little while longer.

During the retreat, I actually finished 5 quilt tops (some were almost done, others had fabric cut), a needle book, and 5 pincushions.  Plus, I ate too much good food and had fun hanging out with all of the other quilters.  The retreat was at Wildacres Retreat and I thought that this sign was very fitting...


Here are three of the quilt tops I finished during the retreat...



A charity quilt I made using some fun kids designs printed on corduroy.



A charity quilt sewn from blocks made by members of the guild. (Modeled by Oreo the cat)


Ready for the party?  

Here is a reminder of the party details:
  • The linky party will open at 12:01am EST on the last day of the month and will be open for 5 days, through the 4th at 11:59 pm EST.
  • You can link up both blog posts and Instagram posts to the party.
                Marci Girl Designs has an excellent tutorial on how to link up a Instagram post to Inlinkz.
