Sewing & Journal Planners

Each month I review projects underway.

And delegating time, early in the month,

always helps to better-organized sewing task
and into utilizing charts for planning new projects

Below I've begun a list of helpful tools used for most of my sewing projects.
and planning out my journal pages and thought they may prove also helpful to those that check out these post.

Yardage Chart:

I'll attempt to keep adding more links as I uncover more.

So do be sure to check back time to time,

And please, if you wish to share some of those sewing planning aids,

one can best add them to using the comment section,

and once done, I'll begin to add those working links too.

My latest Quilt

As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it. And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs.
