April Creative Organizer
This month, we’re carving out some creative time for ourselves.
Click Here to download the April Creative Organizer pages.
Print the worksheets to include in your planner:
Stay Home, Stay Creative
Focus on each room of your house with this handy bullet list page. Pick a room and start dreaming.
Label each box for an area of your home you want to focus on.
List projects you would like to make for each room.
Mood Baskets
Use the space to brainstorm ideas for each room of your house.
- What is the purpose of this room?
- Why do you spend most of your time in this room?
- Do certain colors come to mind when you think about this room?
- What story does this room tell about you?
- What story do you want it to tell?
Add images, colors, and words to the space to inspire you!
Take the inspirations and put together a mood basket for each room. Select fabrics from your stash that best suit each room and place
them in the appropriate basket. Toss in any embellishments you have that suit the room. Add any fun project patterns you
already have on hand. Use the contents and this inspiration page as a guide for creating the room and planning projects.
Show off your progress, connect with other quilters, get ideas, motivation and more!

I’d like to see some examples of creative ideas, especially in my quilt room. I struggle with things falling on the floor as I’m sewing, keeping it organized, making it a place I’m proud of instead of battling the constant struggle of a growing mess.
I know that struggle, Margo! We have a few posts that might help you along.
