Hello! Welcome to Tips and Tutorials Tuesday! To link up your own tips and tutorials today, scroll to the bottom of the page.
I have an exciting announcement today that many of you have heard tidbits about over the last few months.
I am thrilled to announce that I am publishing a Day Planner for 2016 that’s specifically designed for quilters! It’s a daily planner that will inspire you to achieve your goals, and organize both your personal life and your quilting life. Imagine having to-do lists for your quilting projects and your home and work life all in one place…. and space to write all your appointments and responsibilities too.
And what about when you have those brilliant ideas in the middle of the night for your next project? There’s graph paper for sketching out your quilt ideas, blank space to brainstorm or practice free motion quilting drawings, and project planning pages. And a quilting reference section too. It’s all there!
Plus, there will be instructions for a gorgeous, original quilt block on each weekly spread (courtesy of the wonderful new quilt bloggers from 2015), and fantastic quilt patterns from top designers like Pat Sloan, Kitty Wilkin, Lee Heinrich, Mandy Leins, Yvonne Fuchs, Cheryl Brickey, me and more!

I can’t wait to share more details about the planner with you as it evolves. Please feel free to leave me comments about your ideas for the planner. I am editing content every day, and working on making it the best product it can be!
What things could I include that would make a planner most useful to you?

I think that planner sounds like a fabulous idea. I would like blank paper as well as graph paper in there. And maybe a loop for a writing utensil…I would love my block included, don’t know if you are automatically including them all or not, but I’d love to be in it if possible, tell me what to do.
There will be blank paper too! And I agree, a loop would be awesome. I am hoping that I will be able to include that. I want to put in as many special details as possible while still keeping the price point reasonable.
I can’t WAIT for this planner to come out! I like lots of space to write daily schedules, the graph paper sounds fabulous, copious space for lists upon list of to-do items, maybe a blog planning option? With budget, write, reply, plan type options? I have no idea. Either way, I hope to use all of the features of this planner to the max and I’m so happy to have been a tiny part of making it happen!
Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing more about the planner. What size will it be?
This looks like so much fun! I’d need a spiral binding on a planner though if it has any hope of surviving a year. I’m a freelancer so I check my calendar multiple times during the day, and calendars like this haven’t survived more than a couple of months. I would love it if I could work a bit more quilting love into my day job though.
I am working on making it available in spiral bound. A lot of people share your opinion about the benefits of the spiral!
It looks great. It looks a lot the moleskin I use at the moment but with interesting quilty features.
I’ve been excited ever since you mentioned told us about it on the FabriQuilt blog hop. I really like the idea of a spiral binding as well since I’m a lefty. I can turn the planner upside down for the blank pages to practice my FMQ designs.
I am so super excited about your planner 🙂 Here’s to a killer October!
