These pages are odds and ends I made.
The first is for Human measurements, because she sews garb, too, and it’s handy to have in a binder you’ll be taking with you places.

This post has 2 larger files – both are for Journaling. I love to plan out my crafting projects. I rarely do, lol, but I love to do it! It only took a few modifications to the Knitting journal to make it great for quilting. Add some space for more fabric swatches, space to add patterns, and space to plan out blocks and block placement.
I also made pages – it’s just a two page spread – for finished quilts – one page for a picture of the quilt, and the back page for details and if she liked making the pattern.
A couple weeks ago, before the newest lockdown, I went to visit a friend. She had to organize and clean up the room she’s been using for her quilting projects, and I helped. We ended up finding a bunch of pretty coordinating fabric that she forgot what quilt she bought it for! We got it organized a little bit, and then sat down and watched a ‘gifts for quilters’ YouTube video.
On that video was a quilt planner – and she thought it was a good idea, but it was all bound up with a calendar, and deadlines. She doesn’t do well with deadlines and daily things, it puts too much pressure on her creativity.
My final installment (for now) is mostly a round up of things that didn’t fit well with the rest of the things!
Two are themed project planners – one for Knitting, one for Crochet. One is a Measurement page, to track either your own measurements, or if you’re like me and dress multiple people this is handy for keeping good track of measurements without the random slips of paper, unlabeled and unorganized.
I try really, really hard to use the Craft Stash printables. Like, Super Super Hard, especially with my Fabric.
When you have large yardages, it’s easiest to store them in totes. However when storing in totes, if you don’t have either super clear labeling or a stash listing, you end up having to constantly dig through totes. Which means, unfortunately, that you then have to refold a lot of fabric and replace it neatly. Or, like my messy self, leave it all over and then have to clean up sometime in the future.
I love to make a stash list with swatches – then I can pet the fabric a bit, and decide by the feel and yardage if it’s suitable for my project.
