Q1 FAL Winners!

she can quilt

Today is the the day I announce the winners of the prizes for Q1 of the FAL! I have looked at every single beautiful finish that was linked up for Q1 - it took me a while but was worth the time. I did my best to leave everyone at least one comment, and if I missed you it was likely due to the internet acting up and not letting me at that moment.

If you want inspiration and to read some lovely finishing up stories, I encourage you to check out some of the links. The finishes for Q1 were awesome. And if you do visit the links, try to leave a comment as they are so encouraging to get.

I am going to email all of the winners over the day, unless you email me first after reading this. I will need to hear back from the winners by Friday, April 26 so that I can arrange to get your prize to you, and if I do not hear by then I will pick an alternate.

Thank you again to our generous sponsors. Without further ado, the winners - each picked by the random number generator - of the Q1 FAL prizes are:
