About the Quilter’s Planner
Custom made in the United States just for you!
We offer a number of ways you can customize your planner, from the cover design, to the calendar start day, and even how you plan your week. Each planner is made one at a time, specifically for you with the options you pick.
Choose your start day: Monday or Sunday
One of the best ways to customize your planner is picking the calendar week start day.
We know that this is an important decision for you, and it affects how you plan your week.
*Note: Your monthly and weekly calendars will both start with the same day of the week, Monday or Sunday, depending on which you choose.
Choose a Weekly Calendar design
One of the highlights in the Quilter’s Planner is the option to choose from four different weekly spreads.
Vertical
This option has vertical columns with hour slots, a daily top 3 priority list, and multiple to-do lists.
Horizontal
This horizontal calendar format doesn’t have hour slots, but has more space to write and take notes.
Dot Grid
Do you love to bullet journal? This design is for you! It is wide-open to your imagination.
Each spread (regardless of the design you choose) also includes our popular weekly quilting tips so you can continually improve your quilting skills.
Other features of the Quilter’s Planner
Monthly Calendar
The monthly calendar is simple and uncluttered, allowing you the space you need to plan your life. The left margin has a space to list your current quilting and personal projects and a section for notes.
The monthly calendar also helps you stay on top of the most popular quilting events, so you never have to wonder what’s happening in the quilt world. You’ve got it all right there, conveniently in your Quilter’s Planner.
Planning & organization pages
The My Sewing Machines page is a customer request come to life! Use this space to manage information on two of your sewing machines. Track your service and machine care history, machine accessories, and notes about your machine. For many, the sewing machine is the most valuable asset in your sewing room, and we want to help you care for it well!
In the hustle and bustle of our sewing spaces, it can be hard to keep track of all the tools we own. Now you can create an inventory of those assets with the My Sewing Tools Inventory page! With spaces for machine feet, rulers, and other tools, you’ll always know what you have at your disposal. Plus, we’ve added a Sewing Tools Wish List so you can keep track of what to buy on your next shopping excursion!
Project planning pages
In the Projects section, you’ll discover a quilter’s toolbox of planning tools, a place to list all the projects you’re making (or plan to make). This section of the book is dedicated to helping you get and stay organized with your works in progress.
The Project Planner has sections to keep notes about what materials you have for that project, what you need, and the steps you need to take to finish. And the best part? You can even attach your fabric swatches and a picture or sketch of your project at the top or on the full page Dot Grid page.
The Projects At-A-Glance page allows you to list all of your works in progress, so you can see all of your quilts or projects in one place and track your progress, priorities and deadlines.
Also included in this section are a page for planning the projects you are making for Bee Blocks and Swap Projects throughout the year, plus a Swap Planner with “notecards” for tracking the details of each project.
Each year’s planner also includes a selection of featured quilting and sewing patterns sure to keep you busy throughout the whole year.

About The Design Book
The QP Design Book has many of the same cool features of the planner, but no calendars, tabs or patterns are included, so there’s even more space to design, sketch, make lists and jot down all the inspiration that comes to you, year after year!
The Vision Board page is also a great way to set yourself up, thinking about your dreams, goals and plans for the year ahead.
The Project Planning Pages are a great way to design your quilt and plan a project from start to finish. There’s even space to keep swatches of fabric from your project. It becomes a lovely keepsake for when you look back in years to come!
There’s a great selection of different types of papers, from grid, dot and tessellating triangles, so you can choose the page that best suits your ideas and designs.
The Design Book also includes our handy Reference section, which includes information on quilt sizes, measurement conversions, a cutting estimator, piecing methods and so much more.
