Mystery Monday Link-Up, Part 4!

It’s another Mystery Monday, can you believe it?

It seems the time between each PART release on Friday and our Link-Ups on Monday are getting closer and closer together – just where does the in between time go?

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and found some time in between the holiday hubbub for some baking, some visiting, for some reflecting on Christmases past, and was able to squeeze even just a little bit of sewing time in!

My favorite part of the weekend was popping in at odd moments to check out our #quiltvillemystery and #goodfortunequilt tags on Instagram, as well as thumbing through the feed in my Quiltville’s Open Studio group on Facebook and see what YOU were doing!  The excitement is building with how all of this is going to fit together, and it brings me so much joy.

We gave you FIVE options on how to do Part 4.  Which one did you choose?

Michelle went stringy in lime green!

Julie has pulled out her purples with option #2

She cut hers from strip sets.

If you are doing the strip set method, remember to press your seams OPEN to avoid pressing issues later.

Barbara went all out with her oranges!

I spy Charlie Brown!!

This is Julie’s first string piecing endeavor!

I think she likes it!

Well done, Pauline!

If you didn’t catch yesterday’s blog – I’ve included information on the 2019 Moda String-Along.  You will choose your own string project (Perhaps from String Frenzy?!) and string along with everyone else. So happy for a 2019 string piecing challenge!

Now for the nitty gritty of this link-up. There is a lot of info below.  PLEASE DO NOT SKIM READ!

We have many new folks with us this year, so if you’ve never done a link-up before, we will include some info so you can add your photo of your progress to the mix.

You’ll need either a blog, an instagram account, a Pinterest account, a Flickr account or a Google+ account.  All of which are free, and a great way of journaling your progress on any project.  ALL of these must be set to PUBLIC.

Please, no private accounts as no one will be able to see what you are sharing, so what’s the point? Links to private accounts will be deleted.

No matter where you are in your Good Fortune quilt you can share blocks, design wall photos, fabric choices, completed units with your dog, cat or grand-baby – just share!

Please do NOT post unit sizes or unit counts in your post.  This is a mystery.  The sizes and counts are plainly available in the mystery directions themselves.  Folks can get them by coming to my directions.

Be sure when you are filling in your information in the Linky form below that you include a URL to your specific post or photo, not just your main blog or profile address.  We need the address of the page where your photo and post is, not the whole account.

For those who don’t understand HOW to find the URL of any given post PLEASE read this linky tutorial before you link up again.

For an example of a blog post including a link back, click HERE.
For a Pinterest post including a link back, click HERE.
For an Instagram post including a link back, click HERE.
For a Flickr post including a link back, click HERE.

Click the links above for examples of folks who have done it correctly!

If you have linked to my main blog address http://quiltville.blogspot.com that also needs to be changed to the URL for today's linky page. Please check your post or photo and make sure you have the right link.

Our posts are reciprocal.  Which means I link to you, you link back to me.

Your link-up post, be it on Instagram, Pinterest, your blog or wherever MUST include an easy to find, obvious link (highlighted helps!) to the link-up post. The link you are to use is given below

Pinterest, Instagram etc - you can just paste the URL to this post into the text or even the comment section of your post.

Include this link in your post: https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2018/12/mystery-monday-link-up-part-4.html 

Or Short Link: https://bit.ly/2rFSkHr

If you don’t know how to link it so it is clickable in your blog post, don’t worry about it. Just copy and paste the above URL into your text.

We are also using the hashtags #quiltvillemystery and #goodfortunequilt and a link back to this post for social media.  Please use them AND the URL of this post so we can find you!


If you do not link back to my post, your link will be removed from our link-up.


The linky pages will be alive FOREVER in the archives, Your link will stay there so people can find you, please link correctly to my post so people can find me and the others who have also shared their links as well.

Don’t be the dead end street for everyone else. 

Thank you!

Entries will close on Thursday Night, December 20th at 11:55pm EASTERN time!

Part 5 goes Live Friday Morning, December 21st!

String Frenzy Update:

As I mentioned yesterday,  I am holding off on Wave 6  of the next 500 copies until after the holidays, and I know you will understand. 

I need some family time, some creative time and some relaxation. I will be at the cabin in Virginia from December 22nd through New Years, and return to do round 6 at that time. 

In fact, wave 6 may just hit the store on New Year’s Day, so be watching for it!

Wave 5 will be out the door before I leave Saturday morning, and all shipping operations from the Quiltville Store will be put on hold while I am away for the holidays. 

You can still place orders while I am gone, (String Frenzy may be ordered when it is back in the store, not before!) and they will be filled upon my return in the order in which they were received.

Can we have 3 cheers?  I have started shipping orders placed just LAST FRIDAY in Wave 5!

Quiltville Quote of the Day!

I’ve been feeling the Call of the Fabric lately -

I need to obey it, or I’m going to snap!
