I came up with this idea for a way to keep track of what I’m working on. I was inspired by Jamie Ridler’s board here Getting Things Done Creatively.
I’m also inspired by Pat Sloan revving up her UFO Busting Tips and Techniques again.
Soooo this is what I did:
I used a quilt page from an old quilt calendar as my board.
I made little cards, folded, with the name of the project on the outside.
Now instead of having to keep a mental list of what I should be finishing, or searching for a list of my priorities, OR jumping on board to start something new!!!, I can look at this board and SEE what I’m committed to completing!
Once the board is FULL so is my quilting plate, so to speak{grin}
There are a few more cards on the board now – some are gifts so I don’t want to reveal them yet!
Let’s just say I have a pretty plate of possibilities in front of me for the next few months.
with Joy,
Sarah Vee
p.s. This post has been so popular that I went and made an extra special pdf of
How to Make a Visual Project List Board for you!
It includes templates of common types of quilt projects that need to get finished – like block of the months and quilts with borders. I included blank templates for you to customize for your own projects. It includes this colour photo of my Liberated Churn Dash QUILT that you can use as your board – so you can get started right after you print it out:)
