Quilt Project Planner
Hold one quilt's plan, fabric and progress on a single page, so the piecing maths and the yardage are not on the back of an envelope that gets thrown out.
Category
Project planners, stash inventories and machine logs — for quilting, sewing, printing, modelling and selling what you make.
A maker's notes are worth more than any tutorial, because they are about your materials, your machine and your hands. These sheets are built to hold that: what you used, what you set it to and what came out. None of them print a pattern or a setting, because copying somebody else's is the habit a logbook exists to replace.
Hold one quilt's plan, fabric and progress on a single page, so the piecing maths and the yardage are not on the back of an envelope that gets thrown out.
Record the alterations you made to a pattern, so the next garment from it starts from a fitted version instead of the envelope.
Get the ball band's detail onto paper before the band is lost, especially the dye lot, which exists nowhere else once it is gone.
Record the settings that produced each print, so a good result can be repeated and a failed one diagnosed instead of guessed at.
List sets by number, which is the only thing anyone can actually search on, and record whether the box and instructions are still with them.
Keep a catalogue of finished work and where it went, which is the record galleries, insurers and tax authorities ask for and working artists rarely have.
Record the things a finished object cannot tell you later: which dye lot, which hook you really used, and how much was left over.
Make a batch traceable, so a good one can be repeated and a bad one can be traced back to what went into it.
Elsewhere in the library
The paperwork that covers the whole building — service history, registers, warranties and the seasonal rounds.
Heating, hot water, ventilation, drainage and water supply — the fixed systems that need servicing on a schedule.
Alarm tests, extinguisher checks and the records that prove they happened.
Mowers, saws, generators, washers, compressors and tractors — hour-based servicing and the part numbers you can never find.
Cars, motorcycles, motorhomes, trailers and boats — service history, schedules and pre-use inspections.
Pools, hot tubs and private water supplies — chemistry logs and test records.
Maintenance logs, periodic inspections and changeover checklists for let property.
Vaccination and health records, sitter instructions and the emergency details somebody else would need if you were not there.
Trailers, horseboxes, caravans and boats — annual service records, pre-use inspections and the towing figures you should never be guessing at.
Inventories, service logs and the working paperwork a small workshop, a trade or a van actually runs on.
Cleaning schedules, rotas, deep-clean checklists and the dated records a cleaning routine is supposed to leave behind.
The paperwork of changing address — moving, viewing, snagging, renovating and switching the supplies over.
Sowing plans, plot layouts, greenhouse logs, compost records and fruit tree histories — blank wherever the answer depends on where you garden.
Husbandry records for reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals and birds — the readings, feeds and weights that keep an animal well.
Flock and herd records, medicine and movement books, and the application records that have to be produced when somebody asks.
Shot lists, kit inventories and job records — for getting the shot, insuring the kit and finding out what the work actually pays.
Logbooks and trip plans for time spent outdoors — dives made, water paddled, rounds played.
Sheets for the hour you spend standing in front of a car you are thinking of buying, and for comparing it afterwards with the others you saw.
Inspection records for hives and colonies, built so this week's visit can be read against the last three.
Due-date charts and care records for horses and ponies, with the intervals left blank for the ones your own farrier, vet and dentist give you.
Visitor sign-in pages and key registers — who is in the building, who let them in, and what has not come back.
Per-fill fuel and cost records, kept unit-neutral so the same sheet works wherever you buy fuel and whatever your odometer reads in.
Kit checks, expiry dates and restocking — dated on paper and signed by whoever actually did them.
Logbooks for the things people do for the love of it, built to hold hours, conditions and the incident nobody wants to reconstruct from memory.
What is on the shelf, how much of it you want there, and what needs reordering before the recipe stops.
What seed you actually have, whether it still germinates, and what the plot really produced.
The dated, initialled rounds that show a space was actually attended to rather than merely meant to be.
Session logs and equipment records for training — what you did, and what your kit has done.
Itemised records for collections and valuables — what you own, what it cost, and what can be evidenced about it.
The paperwork a committee, a small office or a one-person project runs on — minutes, agendas, actions, decisions, risks and issues.
The money paperwork a one-person business runs on — invoices, estimates, receipts, orders, price lists and the sheets that show what a job really cost.
The records a small employer actually needs: hours, leave, rotas, reviews, training and the two checklists that make starting and leaving orderly.
Permits, method statements, diaries and inspection registers for building sites, yards and anywhere work is done under control.
Blank sheets for a classroom, a tutor, a club or an evening's babysitting — registers, marks, seating, reading and trips.
The paperwork a sports club, a society or a village hall committee runs on — members, subs, kit, duties, scores and fixtures.
Sheets with no subject at all — blank logs, blank checklists, tally sheets and report forms you head yourself.
Records for a working kitchen — what a dish costs, what was made from which batch, what was checked, cleaned and thrown away.
Two sheets for going somewhere: a packing list you write once and reuse, and a road trip planned day by day.
We are building this library out steadily. Leave an address and we will send the new sheets as they are finished — nothing else, and no more than one email a week.
Sign-up is not live yet — we have not connected an email provider, so this form is switched off rather than quietly collecting addresses.
