The Quilter’s Planner 2017

July 26, 2016 by Shannon 9 Comments

There has been a resurgence in planner popularity in the
last couple of years, but not all are created equal! And The Quilter’s Planner has been created specifically for us quilters!! 

I’m generally a digital kind of girl, preferring to go as
paper free as possible. But when it comes to planning my quilting activities, I
felt that my digital approach just wasn’t cutting it.  So I went on the hunt for a solution earlier
this year and found The Quilter’s Planner!! Only to find out it was sold out.
And by sold out, I mean every site that had carried it was completely out of
stock.  And it didn’t look like any would
be replenished.  I had missed out.

The Quilter's Planner
via

I immediately signed up for the newsletter to promptly know
when the next edition would be available. 
This year I wasn’t taking any chances. When I got the notice
yesterday that pre-sales were in full swing I quickly clicked my link and
reserved my copy!  Woot woot 2017 will
see my quilty projects all organized! At least that’s the plan 😉

I’m even more thrilled that my purchase means I am
supporting a fellow quilter, the lovely Stephanie Palmer from Late Night Quilter, who also happened to be my hive leader in the New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop.  Yay for keeping it within the
community J

Plus, you’re not just getting a calendar, the planner is
also filled with project planning pages, graph paper to sketch your own ideas,
a colour chart featuring Cirrus Solids from Cloud 9 Fabrics AND 14 quilt
patterns designed by the following talented quilters:

Amy Friend of During Quiet Time
Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter
Amy Sinibaldi of Nana and Co.
AnneMarie Chany of GenXQuilters
Cheryl Brickey of Meadowmist Designs

Katie Blakesly of Swim Bike Quilt
Lee Monroe of May Chappell
Lindsey Rhodes of LR Stitched
Rita Hodge of Red Pepper Quilts
Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter

So what are you waiting for?! Grab yours today before they
are gone for good.  Well, at least until 2018!!
Happy organized quilting my friends!

    It's a lovely planner, I just wish it was available on Amazon Uk, or anywhere in the UK. Postage always makes everything expensive.

      I so hear you, Kate! I wasn't going to get it once I saw how expensive international shipping was, but then I remember how sad I was that I missed out last year, and so I bit the bullet. I figure it's good to treat yourself every once in awhile 😉

    The planner looks amazing and I even had it in my cart, but when I saw the cost of the shipping plus how much more I would have to pay with our Canadian dollar, I just couldn't justify it. Looks like I'll have to check yours out when you receive it! 🙂

      I know 🙁 it was such a tough call. I too was disappointed when I saw how much shipping was and then the exchange on top of that. But I justified it when I factored in how much it would cost me to purchase 14 patterns + a planner. Still not inexpensive, but it helped put my mind at ease a little 😉 And I will definitely bring it to the MMQG meetings later this fall!!

    I missed out last year, too, so I was ready for the planner this year. I hope it will help me keep my deadlines organized!

Machine quilting at home is a skill that grows with every quilt you make. I’m sharing the lessons I learned while quilting my Cloud Surfing quilt on a domestic sewing machine, including planning quilting lines, working with a guide bar, basting, lighting and learning to embrace the imperfect parts along the way. #MachineQuilting #DomesticMachineQuilting #QuiltingTips #ModernQuilting #QuiltingAtHome
