We had a visitor to our store last week (Trish from Oklahoma), and she showed us a really awesome app that she had on her phone: My Quilts.
Of course, I installed the app right away and started playing around with it. I can see other people's quilting projects and ideas, bookmark the ones I like, and add all my projects as well. The app allows you to track your projects - the type of quilt, size, who it's for, progress, and a LOT of other information!
What I was REALLY excited about, though, was when I found the cheat sheets in the app, such as the HST cheat sheet, the flying geese cheat sheet, and the chart of bed sizes. And, that's just a sample of the cheat sheets that are available.
Here is more information that I got in an email from the company:
Quilting is an art form! Your works of art need to be recorded for the history books! It has never been easier to start! Now, the My Quilts app is here to help you catalog, journal, and track all of your quilting projects in one easy and convenient location- your phone!
So go ahead and open up the app and let's get started!
There's a lot to navigate in the My Quilts app! You can add projects to keep track of all your quilts (finished and unfinished). But you can also find inspiration from other quilters!
If you'd like some help getting to know the app and becoming familiar with all it has to offer you- we have a YouTube Channel with tutorials that cover all the features and walks you through how to use them.
