Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing my weekly Saturday Seven 448: Lifestyle & More for Quilters with a roundup of inspiration from around the internet this week. We also had a special event on our YouTube channel Thursday, and I have all of the details on that below as well. Keep reading for all of the fun things I’m sharing this weekend.
Here at home, I’ve been doing some cleaning and organizing and a lot of sewing! I’m going to have some really fun things to share with you very soon! My reason for more studio cleaning is simple: upcoming collection sample yardage is arriving any time now, and I want to be ready to begin sewing those new projects.

Saturday Seven 448: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
Just one post for this category today, and it’s a piece I really enjoyed. Lots of food for thought in this article on Letting Go.
2. Recipes to Try
I’m going to make some of this Lemon-Garlic Herb Rubbed Chicken this weekend on the grill. Also, for Sunday dinner tomorrow I’m making this Spinach Ricotta Chicken Bake. And a lovely summer dessert idea to finish off today’s list: No-Churn Peach Cheesecake Ice Cream (this looks so good and doesn’t require an ice cream maker).
3. Quilt + Sew
Kits available now at Fat Quarter Shop for my Poinsettia Stars Block of the Month quilt (backing sets available too). Find the full quilt kit including pattern here. (We will begin the sew along videos in July for this quilt). Also, I’ve added some mini bundles of Poinsettia & Pear and other fabrics to the shop–they will definitely go fast!
4. Book & Podcast Recommendations
This week I enjoyed the most recent episode of Deep Questions with Cal Newport. And this episode of Happier with Gretchen Rubin has great mid-year reset ideas–also a terrific episode!
5. A Quilting Life + Cutterpillar Special Discount Code
On Thursday morning we hosted a livestream with Lindsey from Cutterpillar. I love and use a variety of Cutterpillar products including their light boards (I have two different sizes), cutting mats, Flex light, turntable, magnets, and more! You can use the code SHERRI20 for 20% off any purchase through June 28th.

6. Sew Sampler June 2026 Box: Spoiler Alert

There are a few exclusive items in this box including a darling whale pattern from Elizabeth Hartman, another pattern, and a needle minder by Elizabeth Hartman.
