Saturday Seven 290: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
First, I loved this post with “7 Reasons to Slow Down During the Summer.” (It’s always my goal to do this, and now I have some terrific justifications)! And these “6 Powerful Mindset Shifts” are helpful for everyone. Finally, I loved this post with ideas for creating the culture of “slow” in our homes.
2. Recipes to Try
Summer means it’s time to use our smoker. I am looking forward to trying this Smoked Tri Tip Roast. And here is a roundup of Summer Weeknight Meals. Dress up your tuna with some (or all) of these add-ins. Finally, I love all of the fun seasonal products at Trader Joe’s. Here are the 19 Best Summer Groceries available now or coming soon to a Trader Joe’s near you.
3. Quilt + Sew
Earlier this week we celebrated National Sewing Machine Day. Here is a free tutorial for a Sewing Machine Mat–I love using one when I travel! And I found this article very interesting–I had no idea boxes of cotton scraps were sold way back in the 1930’s!
4. Fat Quarter Shop Liberty Box
I’m now able to share the contents of the Fat Quarter Shop Liberty Box! We filmed a quick video you can watch above or on our YouTube channel. And I have the products that are still available from the Liberty box listed below:
