One end-of-the-year tradition is participating in Cheryl/Meadow Mist Designs annual Best of 2025 linky party. It's been my habit to base my 'best' solely on reader views of blog posts, so I'll count up from #5 to the most viewed post of 2025.
#5. Surprisingly, my fabric bundle for the #spookyseptembersewalong2025 was in the top 5!
I can't resist also sharing the quilt I made with the bundle - Bright Side Boo.
#4. My ABC Bloom Stitchalong Needle Roll wasn't even quilt-related, but the most-viewed of my embroidery projects. It was definitely a favorite of mine too.
#3. The blocks I made for my Bee Sewcial mate, Felicity @felicityquilts - Fantastical Flowers, which happened to be a an Echinacea and a hummingbird.
#2. Blocks for the Forbidden Words Quilt Project, a community effort led by Lorraine Woodruff-Long @quiltinginthefog and Patricia Hickey @trisha_quilts. I expect the resultant quilt to be shared in 2026.
#1. And the top-viewed blogpost of the year just happened to be Ode to Joy Finale, where I shared what I think was my favorite quilt-finish of the year. It's already in Austin, where it will join many others in being shared at QuiltCon 2026 in Raleigh NC.
As a comparison, I thought I'd also share my Top Nine 2025 on Instagram. Interesting that's there's no overlap!

Anyway, thanks so much for being here. That's a wrap on the Best of 2025, though I expect to have another post or two as I wrap up the year here at A Quilter's Table.
