Planners and Trackers

Posted on January 6, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

I love that fresh start to the new year, cracking open a new planner book, updating all my trackers to start anew, and loving all the possibilities that a clean slate provides. This year, I didn’t even hesitate on which planner to buy. Last year, I got a Plum Paper planner, and loved it so […]

Posted on December 26, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Lists, Organizing, Quilting For Hire

As you probably know if you’ve hung around here at all, I’m continually trying to get organized.

Planner: v. 2025

Posted on January 6, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

It’s once again time to break open a new planner and see if it helps me get through my year! Last year, I used a planner from Planner Envy, and I loved it. I used nearly every drop of it, and it suited me very well. Because of that, I fully intended to just get […]

The Annual Quandary

Posted on December 27, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

The quandary of what to do for a planner for next year . . . For several years now, I’ve been using a homemade planner, and while it has worked well for me, I decided that for 2024, I would purchase a ready-made planner. I shopped for weeks. It feels like I looked at every planner […]

My 2020 Planner

Posted on February 5, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

I said earlier that I’d report back and let you know what I decided to use for a planner this year. Turns out, it’s a relatively boring setup, so I have no good pictures for you, but I will tell you what I’m using, and where I got some of my forms. This is the […]

Keep On Going

Posted on February 4, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

It’s been one month since we wrapped up The Final Countdown. Normally, I lose momentum on the tasks I don’t get finished, and move on to something else, as it is my flitting nature to do. But this year, I really, really want to get my paper under control, and my projects all organized, so […]

Posted on December 17, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

The time of year for me to decide what type of planner I will use for the next year. I change it every year, and am still trying to find THE perfect planner for me. For 2016, I put together THIS planner, and I’ve used it ever since in some form or another. It has […]

My Scrap Storage Method

Posted on January 26, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Stash Tales, Studio Organizing Challenge

Several of you said “yes”, you’d like to see how I store my smaller scraps, so today, I’m here to show you how I do that. My theory is that if something isn’t organized, it’s hard to use. If I can’t readily find what I’m looking for, I’ll end up not using it, and using […]
