2016 FAL Q2 Winners!

Today is the day we are privileged to announce the winners for the Second Quarter of the Finish-A-Long. Those of us who are fortunate enough to be hosts this year have had the spectacular experience to be inspired by all the finishes of the first quarter - an amazing 677!!

If you are low on inspiration or maybe your sewing mojo has been missing lately, we highly recommend you visit some of the finishes from Q2.

Rhonda is going to email all the winners around the time of this posting. Rhonda will need to hear back from the winners by Sunday, July 24 so that she can arrange to get your prize to you, and if she does not hear from you by that date she will pick an alternate. Please email her so you don't miss out on your wonderful prize from our kindhearted sponsors.

Thank you again to our generous sponsors. Without further ado, the winners - each picked by the random number generator - of the Q2 FAL prizes are:
