If I look at the numbers, my best posts—those that received the most traffic or garnered the most comments—are easy to spot. They’re the ones that featured giveaways or received some third-party seal of approval, like my post for the Fat Quarter Shop Jolly Bar Blog Hop or my tutorial for the Moda Bake Shop. Not surprising, right?
In my non-quantifiable personal opinion, this is the best of From Bolt to Beauty from 2015 ...

If you’re feeling creative, I would love to hear what you would like to see on next December’s best-of list. Best Embarrassing Moment in Front of a Quilting Celebrity? Best Non-Sewing Use of a Sewing Notion? Best Single-Day Purchase of a Staggering Amount of Fabric?
I have a full year to make good on your ideas. I hope not to disappoint!

Love it Michelle! Maybe Most Fun Had While Sewing? ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kali - that would be a great topic. Or Most Creative Use of a Precut; Favorite Quilt or Project; Most Teachable Moment......the list could go on and on! :) This is a great post!
ReplyDeleteLove all your "bests". It's too easy to judge a book by its cover and you're to smart to fall into the trap that the most hits means it's the best!!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I hope that you will link up to the linky party :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list. 2015 was an awesome year. Love your suggestions for next year's list. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLovely list Michelle! So nice to discover your blog through Cheryl’s Best Post event!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle! Rose is the cutest ever puppy! Thank you for inspiration for strips! x Teje
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you also joined in the party, Michelle! What a great list of posts from 2015. Your sense of humor and your sense of style are super! I can't wait to see what you create in the coming new year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in on the linky party!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious little furry face! Rose is just adorable. I have to stop rewarding myself with fabric, the stash is going to take over!
ReplyDeleteLooks like 2015 was an creative year. Good luck with Rose, I'm sure she'll make 2016 an even more creative year as you deal with all those puppy growing pains.
ReplyDeleteGreat list of posts! And I love your ideas for next year!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your take on your best of 2015! I agree about giveaway or sponsored posts and ignored those, too. I like your ideas for next year and look forward to seeing what 2016 does offer for all of us. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list of wonderful posts! Thanks so much! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Michelle! Looking forward to seeing what you blog about in 2016!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of posts from 2015. I have to say, I hope to see more of Rose and quilts...she should calm down in about 3 years :)
ReplyDeleteSo enjoyed reading this post as well as others. I look forward to future posts as well. Discovered you through this linky party--Wahoo!
ReplyDeleteFun list! I think in many ways we have all become our Mother...or will! Can't wait to see what 2016 has up it's sleeve for you!
ReplyDeleteI love your list! I love that it's not by the numbers but based on some great posts that meant something to you. You ARE a quilting bad-ass! Congrats to a great 2015 and here's to 2016!
ReplyDeleteThose are some good post. Although textile enemy No.1 is getting such a bad rep. she looks so sweet. Can't wait to see what 2016 bring if you're already a quilting bad ass??? Oh, retreat ....
ReplyDeleteGreat selection!! Happy next year ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to organize your "best" posts! I enjoyed reading it! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAll great posts!
ReplyDeleteGreat posts -- you are just too funny!
ReplyDeleteGreat reading about your 2015. Just love that gorgeous puppy face.
ReplyDeleteYour titles are just great!
ReplyDeleteAnd is "Best Rationale for Justifying a Large Fabric Purchase - Behavior Modification for Quilters" not a great idea in correlation with the New Year resolutions :)
I enjoyed reading about Rose's misadventures...and can certainly relate. But rest assured they do grow up and can provide great (destruction free) company as you quilt!
