So, here’s the new Quilter’s Project Planner, which I’ve already started using!

I love paper planners generally and was already planning to do a post about this one, then my friends at C&T invited me to take part in this Social Media Tour. Woo! Be sure to check at the end of the post for other blogs on the tour and for a chance to win your own copy of the planner.
Yes, it’s formatted to start in January (holiday hint for someone?), but I don’t see why I can’t start in September and go through August of 2021.
Ha! Fixed to suit me!
I’ve decided to use the planner for my own designs. And yes, I design at least one quilt a month, I just choose not to sell patterns. You get to see all the quilts here eventually, and some of the patterns are done for Studio Stitch to give away, so there are sources if you want to make my quilts.
The planner includes the kind of features you’d expect but without the bulk of some of the other quilting planners I’ve tried. There are pages for planning individual projects as well as pages for quiilting goals, etc.

I’ve already started the project for September and filled out part of the pages. (The quilt shown isn’t the real thing, but my preliminary drawing from EQ8.)

Would love to have the planner. What a neat way to keep track of projects
Good luck 🍀
I do a lot of quilts each year and hoping this will keep my activity focused rather than scattered.
I like to think I’m scattered because I’m creative and I’m sure you are too 😃
Oh to be this organised!
I’m hoping to be able to stick with this system
The project planner looks great!
I love this planner! I think it would help me make more time to sew.
Please enter me to win this planner. I will truly put it to great use. Thank you!
I like your idea to start right away. I’m discovering I need help organizing projects so this will be great!
I like your idea of writing a pattern each month and keeping all your ideas in one place. That would help me!! I love to look at a quilt and try to figure out how it was made and where the blocks begin and end, etc. It’s a puzzle and I’m a math/puzzle addict. I hope your husband picks me!! I sure need some organization. Thanks.
Now that I’m almost retired, this planner would help me organize the things I want to do. I am enjoying the blog hop learn many new things
I would love to have a planner like this. It would help me out so much.
Maybe this book will help keep me organized!
This looks like a great planner. If I don’t win one I will be buying one. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this Quilter’s Planner. I am so in the need to be organized with my projects and due dates. Luckily I haven’t missed any. I love your site. I haven’t heard of your site but I will be adding as a great one to follow.
Thanks 😊
This planner looks fantastic!
I’ve never used a planner before, thinking it could help me organize all my WIPs!
It’s pretty well set up for WIPs
Please put my name in for drawing. This book sounds so interesting.
Good luck 🍀
There are so many great features to this planner…most of them would help me get my act together! Ha! Anything to help me document and schedule my sewing time is great!

This planner looks like it would be fantastic! Thanks for the chance to win one. gregandsally@abbnebraska.com
Organization would be a good thing (I think😁).
Just retired – could use this book to stay organized!
I definitely need to be more organized! kdm1050(at)gmail(dot)com
I would love the planner. I love “to do lists”! I especially would like to look back and remember charity quilts I gave away. Sometimes my pile of ufo’s can be discouraging but having monthly progress plotted out and completed would be satisfying!
I loved seeing your writing in your planner. Will writing everything down in this book organize my sewing rooms? Ha, ha!
If this book organizes your sewing room, be sure to let me know!
I’d love to win one!
I would love to win a copy of this planner!
This would be so much more helpful than just writing notes on pieces of paper or even in a notebook! So many spaces for information I would have forgotten about or never thought of until it was too late.
Yes, I hope to do better documenting my quilts, too
What a neat looking planner. I’d love to win.

What a great idea!
I’d love a chance to win this planner!
This would totally help in organizing the WIP’s, and to prioritize those that still speak to me.
Would love to get organized.
Count me in!
I write notes on pieces of paper (and sometimes in a notepad 🙂 — this would help me to stay organized!!
the quilt planner looks awesome!
First time on your site. I shall spend a little time looking around. Came for the planner but will stay for the quilts😁
Thanks 😊
I would be delighted to win the planner. I am in great need of “getting a grip” on my quilting time.
I love planners, and check lists, and coloring things in, so this looks like a great fit for me!

Thanks for the quilty gift away I’d like to win this planner.
This looks like a great planner, would love to win it!
oh, to be organized! I have NEVER been!
Possibly, this year I will purchase a planner. I do currently use a journal, but with a planner I could include so much more. Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net
Good luck 🍀
This looks like an awesome planner.
Would love to win that planner. I love anything that helps with organization.
I love this planner. It will be a great gift for my secret pal.
Have many can’t remember stopping point or what is needed to finish. This would help me get organized
Gosh, the planner sure is pretty, and the reason for it sure makes sense. But I’ve never been a write-it-down-on-paper sort of person. I discovered, early-on, that when I goal-set that way, all I felt was great anxiety about the list, and how in the world could I get it all done?! My mental list is sufficient to keep me on-task, yet not burden me with the black-and-white evidence of it. 🙂 So, please don’t enter me in the giveaway, but thanks for sharing this! It would make a great gift for anyone but me! 😉
I love your idea for starting the planner now and not waiting. It looks like it has so much helpful info, too. I would love to win a copy.
Good luck 🍀
I dont know what happened to my post so I’ll do it again. I’m sorry if this is a duplicate. I love your idea of starting the planner now. I would love a copy of this.
I got it, but of course this is computer stuff we’re dealing with so anything could happen 😆
It looks doable. This one looks straightforward.
