Cheryl @
Meadow Mist Designs (you might know her from the Mystery Quilt series she's done the past two years) is hosting a fun end of year link up - Best of 2015.
The link-up is designed to showcase a blogger's posts with the most views or comments, best tutorials or finishes, or even one's just plain favourites. Here's my Top Five Countdown!
#5.
Meet Maritime Modern Blog Hop
Why a blog hop post? Well, this one was my brainchild and it allowed me to get to know some of my
Maritime Modern Quilt Guild pals even better! If you're new to my blog, it's also a good post to get to know me a little better.

Good Old Hockey Game
Even though I completed this quilt in 2014, I didn't manage to blog about it until July. To date, this is my blog post with the highest number of views... for all time! It was such fun to have my nephew, J-Boy, helping me with this quilty photo shoot.

For the Love of Sewing
This finish represents an entire year of new skills and pushing my limits - appliqué, tiny pieces, a tonne of new FMQ patterns, and my first QAYG quilt. It's a doozy! My fingers are crossed that this year will see the Skill Builder 2015 BOM revived and that I'll have a
Technicolor Galaxy finish to show off!

ALYOF - September
Participating in
A Lovely Year of Finishes has been a great motivator for me this year. I've set and achieved goals in all 12 months (this month's post is yet to come). If there's 2016 edition, I'm probably in!
And in the top position...

Throwback Thursday
One of my quilty goals for this year was to start my own link-up. Up until now, it's been a private goal, but there's no harm in sharing it now. ☺ I made that goal a reality back in August, when I started Throwback Thursday - a celebration of quilts from our dark quilty pasts! It's been fun to revisit projects from my days before blogging. Perhaps you'll even join me for {Volume 6} on Thursday, January 7th.
How about you? If you're a regular reader, I'd love to hear about a post you enjoyed that didn't make my Top Five! And if you're a blogger, do you have a Top Five posts of 2015? Why not collect them up and link-up with
Best of 2015 @ Meadow Mist Designs?

What a great top 5 list! Thanks so much for linking up! I love your Through Back Thursday linky party.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed following your blog during the past year and even though I'm not a fan of hockey, I love your Good Old Hockey Game quilt! Glad to hear your Throwback Thursday party has been a success. Unfortunately I started blogging real early in my quilting career and have not been able to participate. *insert sad face here* However, I DO have a stash! And am looking forward to 2016 being the year of the Year of the Stash!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a lot of fun to dig through the statistics and learn what was most viewed by others. I really enjoy getting to follow along on your quilting journey, and I look forward to seeing what you do in 2016!
ReplyDeleteI know it is probably obscure in terms of a favorite post of yours, but I remember earlier this year (I think) that you pointed out the patterns tab on the Robert Kaufman site. I might not follow patterns by others, but getting to see how other patterns are written is really informative for me, and I really appreciate that tip!
Beautiful quilts! I love that hockey quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy every post from you that I read. I love that your posts always make me smile. I can see, from reading, that you are a down to earth person and I love that. You always made me remember where I'm from.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see your accomplishments this year, Jenn. I love your skill builder quilt and I look forward to seeing all that you do in 2016!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts, Jenn! Will definitely be linking up to TBT sometime. I have a few quilts pre-blog that would be fun to feature.
ReplyDeleteFor the Love of Sewing was a big project and challenge for you, but you did an awesome job finishing it. Here's to a great 2016!

ReplyDeleteYou've listed some truly awesome posts. I love the Throwback Thursday post about the quilt for your guy. It's so fun that they are often our biggest fans. The hockey quilt is lots of fun and so is your Love of Sewing quilt. Wishing you a very productive and fun 2016.
ReplyDeleteI can't pick a favorite post, but I really appreciate your Throwback Thursday linky party. It prompts me to look back and document my quilt journey, but mostly I love reading the stories behind all the quilts that others share. So thank you for starting that party. I'm definitely looking forward to how you use up that stash in the coming year.
ReplyDeleteEverything on your blog is my fave! You have inspired my quiltyness soooo much in the past two years. I want to make everything you make! All the best to you in 2016. I know you will exceed your own wishes.
