Hello, friends! Today I’m stopping in to share my Saturday Seven 451: Lifestyle & More for Quilters post with a roundup of inspiration from around the internet this week. I have a lot of fun to share and hope these ideas and projects will give your weekend and the week ahead a fun jumpstart.
Here at home, I’m planning to spend some good time in my sewing room working with new fabrics and finishing up some current blocks and projects. It’s been warm, and so there is no place better right now than inside with my fabric and sewing machine!

Saturday Seven 451: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
I’ve been wanting to incorporate some yoga into my routine. This yoga session came recommended by a friend! I also love this idea of a “Monthly 10 List.” I’m going to actually try for 5 before the end of this month!
2. Recipes to Try
Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Casserole–yes, please! I also love everything lemon and want to try this new-to-me lemonade recipe. Finally…a Crazy Good Loaded Wedge Salad.
3. Quilt + Sew
This new Fat Quarter Shop Shortcut Quilt looks like a perfect scrap buster (also the pattern is free and comes in four sizes)! Also, how fun is this half-square triangle pillow?!
4. Book + Podcast Recommendations
I love using notebooks and loved this recent Deep Questions podcast on this topic. This episode on calendar mastery was also terrific! I also just finished this book (it was a fun beach-read and has a television adaptation now on Peacock).
5. Favorites
Just got back from a mini vacation and remembered how much I love this swimsuit–plus it comes in so many color options! Plus, this coverup is so good that I got it in white and black! Finally, how cute are these mini bins–I love them!
6. New Chelsi Stratton Quilts in Midsummer
Watch Chelsi’s latest video above or on our YouTube channel where she shares two of her newest quilts in our Midsummer collection. Both Whimsy Summer and Picnic Stars are fun to piece and perfect for your favorite collection and/or scraps!
