Thank you so much to everyone who has participated in my yearly-turned-quarterly quilting goals check in link ups over the years. Participation in these has fallen off drastically in the past few years, so this will be the final goal oriented goal check in linkup party that I plan to host for the foreseeable future.
So, I hope you will join me in reflecting one last time on the entirety of 2025. The #2025QuiltingCheckIn linkup will be open today, December 15th, through January 15th, at 11:55pm (Pacific Standard Time).
As noted in the link up instructions below, Instagram posts are welcome in addition to blog posts. Here are some instructions for how to link up an Instagram post.
Change is ok. Thank for hosting the linky the last several years and reminding us to be thoughtful and reflective about our creating.
Sadly, only bloggers can report in ??? Regardless, change is good :-)
Linkup parties were established long ago for bloggers, yes, but it is possible to link to an Instagram post about this topic. Here are some instructions for how to link up an Instagram post:

The overall trend to move to short form social media posting and not blogging is one of the big reasons for the drop off in participation, though, hence this being the last link up for this moving forward.
I stopped setting goals for myself some time ago, and just go with the flow of what I choose to do each week. Nevertheless, I do enjoy seeing your progress!
Hats off to you for hosting this for the last few years. I saw another blog I read announce that she will no longer be blogging, and I felt a little like you and I are a select few who are still continuing. A lot of blogs I read on Blogger can’t be put on a mailing list, so I miss some of their posts, but generally, as you noted above, things are just changing.
My year ranges from Okay to Amazing. LOL Different aspects are rated differently. But I was able to sew throughout the year, met new people, engaged with friends, and had a great time generally. So an amazing year. Merry Christmas.
Thanks for hosting these over the past few years, Yvonne!
Thank you for hosting the goals linky party and quarterly check ins. It really helped remind me that I had goals for a given year. Hope your 2025 was what you hoped and wishing you a very productive 2026.
You really accomplished a lot in 2025, as in every year. You are such a wonderful inspiration for quulting.
Thanks so much for the year end party Yvonne. I only did a couple of quarterly reports last year. It was useful but so much work….so now, as is typical for me, I procrastinate and only do it at the end of the year! Thanks again for your encouragement. All the best for 2026!
I am so sorry to read you will drop the link-up. But I do understand. Blogging and any feedback on blog post has come to almost a full stop. But I do like to still write them. To clear my thoughts and to link up with the few online blogging friends still out there. Would you mind if I continue the tradition? xo
