Quilter's Planner - A Quilty Planner Review

Wednesday, September 30, 2020

My series on quilty planners continues this week with a review of the Quilter's Planner! This is the planner that first comes to mind for me when I think of quilty planners, so I'm excited to see what's new for 2021!

An honest review of the Quilter's Planner

This is the fourth planner in my quilty planner series. You can read about the other planners HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Morrison Park - Exploding Heart

Tuesday, September 29, 2020

A few months ago, Pat Sloan emailed me asking if I'd like to join her social media tour for her new Morrison Park fabric collection. Of course I immediately said YES! Fast forward to today, and it's my turn to share my Exploding Heart quilt!

Plan to Quilt - A Quilty Planner Review

Thursday, September 10, 2020

I have had a thing for office supplies since a very young age. I remember the feeling I got when opening a new box of 64 crayons, and it's the same feeling I get when opening a new pack of pens as an adult. I love pretty notepads, washi tape, colorful pens, and all things paper. I've started a small collection of quilty planners, so I'd thought I'd share them each with you over the next few weeks. I'll do a round up post at the end to share what I love (and don't!) about each one too!

The Plan to Quilt project planner is an undated organizer great for tracking and recording quilty finishes!

First up is "Plan to Quilt" by Shannon Gillman Orr of Eva Blake's Makery. (You can read about two other quilty planner review posts HERE and HERE.)
