Staring in June 2016 we will be launching Project Planner — it’s a Challenge! Are you in?
I’m one that loves sharing with others –only to see how other’s use or sew or explore on their own. I am always floored by some ideas and different things that come up when we all start with the same jumping point.
The planner is no exception. So far, seeing how everyone is incorporating it into their life and projects has been awesome. I love the new thoughts and ideas and ways that you are all using them! I really can’t wait for this challenge to start to see more of it!!
The challenge is based on the Patchwork Planner & Journal – you will need this to participate – All the pages that are covered in the challenge are in the planner. You will not be needing to purchase anything additional. In addition to the planner though, you will be sent a monthly calendar with project checklist – you can use this however you’d like…and even to keep track of the challenge for the month!
Because the planner is for everyone, no matter the subject matter of your project, there is no requirement for your projects to be quilts. They can be other items like bags, table runners, hot pads…whatever! You use the pages how you’d like with your projects. No need to switch gears just for this.
The planner is broken down into sections- the challenge won’t be following these sections. It will be focusing on one or a couple of pages at a time with the subject mentioned below. We might be hopping around to hit the holiday tracker in November….kind of things like that. But again, it’s all from the planner and nothing else.
Pick up the planner right here:
