2025 Printable Monthly Project & Quilt Planner Pages
Who’s ready to get organized? (Raises hand!) I’m going to do my part to help you organize your sewing, quilting, and craft projects this year with these printable monthly project planners. Keep yourself on track throughout the year!
Like many of you, I sat down at the beginning of the year to “get myself organized.” I’ve been a little off track the last few months and have begun a plan to “right the ship,” for lack of a better term.
(This post has been updated from a previous version)
How I Plan My Year
As I planned out the patterns and projects I wanted to share here in the coming year, I began to make myself a set of project planners.
First, I broke down by month what I wanted to accomplish, then began making a list of what I would need to do.
We offered a set of planner pages like this EACH year for the last five years, and they were so popular that we’ve decided to do a 2025 version of the pages!
The 2025 version includes NEW cover art and updated calendars.
It is FREE with any purchase over $5 in our shop! There are THREE ways to get the planner this year!
- Buy it in the shop for $5
- Get it for FREE with any purchase in the shop $5 or over THRU JANUARY 31 ONLY
- Join our Patreon Block of the Month
NOTE: Some images on this blog post feature our 2020 or 2021 calendar art, but all of the downloads will contain the updated 2025 art.
Why a Separate Quilters Planner?
I have a traditional paper planner. I keep it at my desk and use it to keep track of deadlines and major events; I do not like to use it as a project planner. For me, I feel it’s better to keep that separate.
For my projects, I prefer to use large notebooks. I like to have lots of room to write and sketch. Since those are so big, I don’t want to carry them around with me.
I have found that traditional planners are usually too small and don’t have enough “free” space for notes and sketches.
About the 2025 Monthly Project Planner Pages
Recently, those large notebooks have not been working well for me as they have become notebooks full of unorganized random notes and scribbles; for this reason, I have transitioned to a more project-based system.
Most covers feature art from my upcoming fabric collection, Bluegrass Charm!
So…. since I was designing a set of project planners for myself in the new year, I thought I might as well share those with you, too!
These project planner pages are designed specifically to help you plan, manage & complete your sewing, craft, and quilting projects throughout the year.
How to Get the Planner Pages
There are three options.
Option One: Get the Free in the Polka Dot Stitch Society on Patreon
The annual Block of the Month quilt will be hosted on my Patreon (hop on over there to see the quilt)! I think you will really love this change! The planner is our January download in the Polka Dot Stitch Society!
Why Patreon?
- I can upload a video for each block pattern.
- International quilters can participate.
- Block pattern PDF’s downloaded in the Pateron – log in and grab the file!
- Ask lots of questions if you get stuck sewing your blocks!
Option Two: Free with Purchase
You can get the planner pages for FREE with any sewing or quilting pattern purchase in our shop for OVER $5 THROUGH JANUARY 31ST, 2024 ONLY.
You do NOT need a code. The discount is AUTOMATIC! When you check out, the price will be $0 as long as you have $5 or more of other items in your cart.
To use this option, please visit the shop.
Option Three: One-Time Purchase
This is not meant to be a FULL planner. As I mentioned before, I have a traditional planner (I like the Simplified Planner by Emily Ley) that I use separately. I prefer the Weekly version.
Outside of the USA?
You can purchase via our Etsy shop if you are outside of the USA. (or join the Patreon for one month then cancel). There is no way to automatically add the planner pages to purchases over $5 there; message us (
What exactly is in the Printable Monthly Project Planners?
This is the system I am using for myself. Due to my job, I have a lot of experience planning and executing projects on a timeline.
I constantly have to finish projects with a set deadline and have learned how to “get stuff done” over the years. I’m sharing the knowledge I’ve gained from doing that with you.
The idea behind these planning pages is that you print out ONE set a month. Each month has 7 pages. You can print as many or as few of each specific page as you want. It all just depends on what you’re working on that month.
NOTE: January 2025 has different cover art (the photo is from 2021)
- Title Page
- 2025 Dated Monthly Calendar Pages
- Project Planning Sheet
- Project-Specific Supply List
- Monthly To-Do List
- Notes & Sketches Page
- To Buy List
Each of the title pages includes an exclusive design for the cover! All of the covers feature graphics from my upcoming Bluegrass Charm fabric collection!
New in 2025!
This year, I’ve added a small notecard to the cover of our monthly pages. That way, you can also jot down a few thoughts on the cover. I plan to use it to note my “big” projects for that month so they are always at the forefront.
On the Monthly calendar printable, there is a spot at the bottom for you to list your monthly intention.
How Do I Turn the Loose Pages into a Planner?
You have a few options; you can:
- Print them out and put them in a 3-ring binder.
- Staple the pages together
- Keep the pages paperclipped together and put them in a notebook with pockets
- Keep them loose in a plastic envelope.
- Sew the pages together to create a “bookbinding.”
- Take them to a copy shop and have them spiral-bound. You can also mix and match them with loose-leaf lined paper or graph paper
NOTE: Some images feature our 2020 calendar art, but all of the downloads will contain the updated 2025 art.
My favorite way to keep them organized is to use these clear document envelopes. I have twelve —one for each month.
Why I Like the Envelope Method
- I can add other items to the envelope, like patterns, patterns, pieces, or fabric swatches.
- If I jot notes down in another notebook, I can slip them into the envelope.
- If I start another project, I must print another “Project Page” and add it to the envelope.
- I can keep my receipts organized by month.
- If I need to take the planner with me, it’s protected.
If you take the pages to a copy shop and have them bound, I recommend using heavy cardstock on the front and back pages to make them more sturdy.
My favorite of those methods is to sew the pages together. I mean, you’ve got a sewing machine, right? Why not use it?
Just set your machine to a longer stitch length (like 3.5) and sew right down the side. I use binding clips to keep my pages together as I sew.
