Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup - June 2023

  Welcome to June's Favorite Finish Monthly Linkup!





I have been busy behind the scenes in June with putting the finishing touches on the Malted Mystery quilt along, getting everything set and scheduled and planning for a newly released pattern launch of Looking Glass.

The Malted Mystery quilt along, a free monthly quilt along kicks off next week on July 6th, you can find all of the information on the Main Malted Mystery Page.

Here is a little sneak peek of Piper "helping" baste Looking Glass which is scheduled for a re-release next Friday.  This was an older pattern that I have now made 5 times!  The pattern has been redone with 2 additional sizes, additional instructions, and new illustrations.









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.
  • For instructions on how to link up blog, Instagram, or pictures from your computer (there is now a way to just upload a picture without a web link) to the party, click here.
