Welcome to my stop on C&T Publishing's Quilter's Project Planner tour!
As quilters, we get so tied up in multiple projects at once, that a project planner such as this will help to keep everything organized and on track.
Though the planner starts with January, one could begin using this workbook any time of year. Just start filling in important dates or events that are coming up during your year and what you want to accomplish.
Fill in that information in the 'My Year' section, both in the calendar area and under the action plans. I know I'd be filling those areas first with all the holidays, then blog hops, then any events coming up.
With a schedule taking shape, organizing the workload becomes a snap, helping to prepare for any busy months so those projects can get done on time.
There's also plenty of space for all the usual project details, plus an area for notes of any issues or lessons learned, followed by a page for placing inspirational ideas/fabric swatches, and a page of graph paper to draw out ideas.
Project planning takes up the bulk of the book, as it should, but the next section, 'Tracking Logs', is just as useful. Here's the place to list quilt giving and shipping information, quilts for charity, and my favorite, quilt alongs, bees, and mystery quilts. With all the blog hops I participate in, this section may not be big enough!
The last two sections of the Quilter's Project Planner workbook are devoted to keeping handy information right at your fingertips. The 'My Contacts' section has spaces for quilt shops, longarm quilters, machine repair shops, guilds, quilt friends, and online quilt friends. And the 'Reference' section is full of quilty math charts which are oh-so-helpful!
