Saturday Seven 150 Inspiration for Quilters

Hello friends, and happy Saturday! Fall is finally here in my part of the world–we’ve been blessed with beautiful cool mornings and evenings. I have a big project I’m hoping to finish up this weekend (it’s always good when you can see the finish line for a deadline quilt)! And then I plan to do a little cleaning and organizing and work on a Christmas quilt or two. I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy this week’s Saturday Seven 150 post.

Saturday Seven 150

1. Feed Your Spirit

Here are some good time management tips that work for everyone. I also love the idea of a “Stop Doing List.” Find the article “The Life-Enriching Opportunity of a Stop Doing List” here.

2. Recipes for Fall

I can’t wait to try these Banana Crumble Muffins–get the recipe here. And this Mini Pumpkin Sheet Cake is getting rave reviews. Finally, here is a great recipe for Copycat Chipotle Chicken.

3. Quilt & Sew

I love this idea on making an hourglass block a day. And Alison has a printable size chart so you can make blocks in the size you’ll be most likely to use. And you can watch my video here for a step-by-step tutorial on how to make this versatile block. Sewcialites is in its third week. Find block three here.

4. Bookshelf

I just received the book Cozy: The Art of Arranging Yourself in the World and can’t wait to get started. I feel like it will be a perfect “get ready for winter” read. And I just put the Clean Mama’s Guide to a Peaceful Home on pre-order. It arrives at the end of the year and will be perfect for getting organized in January.

5. Kitchen Things

These Beeswax Fabric Wraps are such a fun idea. What a fun 5-minute project to brighten up your refrigerator! Find the tutorial here. Now is a terrific time to get the kitchen really cleaned and organized before the holidays. Here is a terrific Seasonal Kitchen Cleaning Checklist Printable (scroll all the way to the end of the post to download).

6. Pumpkin Quilt Pattern + Family Tree Pillow Updates

After posting photos of my pumpkin quilt recently I received several emails asking about the pattern. For now, the pattern is only available in the American Patchwork & Quilting 2021 Calendar available here.

Also, my On-line Class for my Family Tree Pillow with six sessions through Martingale U begins next week. If you want to sign up, you can do that here. And I had just a few kits left over that you can find here. (Note: you will need to purchase the Labor of Love quilt book separate from the kit as the pattern is not included).
