A Lovely Year of Finishes – Final Thoughts

15 Comments / A Lovely Year of Finishes, Fiber of All Sorts / By Melissa Dunworth

The last three years have been so much fun, Shanna and I have really enjoyed managing and running A Lovely Year of Finishes.

We have had the opportunity to work with some incredible sponsors and we have been lucky to see so many wonderful finishes, and finish a few projects ourselves.

That being said, we have decided it is time to take a break from A Lovely Year of Finishes, and it is with heavy hearts that we are announcing the end of A Lovely Year of Finishes.

We want to thank each and every person who linked up with us over the last three years. Give yourselves a huge round of applause, there have been over 3,000 finished projects linked up to our blogs. Talk about amazing!

We want to thank our incredible sponsors. Your generosity has be unparalleled.

This doesn’t mean that Shanna and I are going away or that our wonderful friendship is ending, merely that we want some time to re-focus ourselves, our blogs, and our sewing. We are excited for the future and we hope that you will keep up with your finishes.

The group on Facebook will still be live and you are always welcome to keep posting there if you need some cheer leading!

Now if you were able to successfully link up and complete 6 finishes this year, make sure you visit on January 1st for our 2015 Finale Link up – lots of great prizes will be awarded.

I will have many exciting things happening in 2016, so stay tuned!

Hello December! That wonderful time of year, filled with cheery lights and manic sewing. Deadlines to hit and not a single extra minute to spare. Those homemade gifts are always well loved and received because people know you went the extra mile.

My goal is to finish up a couple of gifts for family and teacher gifts too. No pictures to show other than to say, I will be spending some quality time with the embroidery unit on my machine!
