Saturday Seven 330: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 330: Lifestyle & More for Quilters post with a fun group of ideas I’ve found from around the web this week. I hope this assortment of inspiration will help you with your weekend and the week ahead as you plan your days (and your quilting for the week). I’m looking forward to some good sewing time this weekend and hope to be able to share my progress very soon!

Saturday Seven 330: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

1. Self-Care

Here are “7 Simple Ways to Reduce Stress Naturally.” I love the idea of a seasonal bucket list for self-care. You can download a super cute Spring Bucket List Printable from this post.

2. Recipes to Try

I’ve printed off this Breakfast Casserole recipe and plan to make it this weekend (I love breakfast casseroles)! I’m also going to try this Nourish Bowl Copycat Recipe–I love that I can utilize meal prep and then have this for lunch several days in a row. This Smoked Pulled Ham looks like a great new dish for a more casual Easter dinner. And a simple Carrot Cake Sheet Cake would make the perfect dessert.

3. Quilt + Sew

I’ve never been to Quilt Con but loved reading my friend Lissa’s recent post on her experience this year. And this Patchwork Corner Bookmark makes a quick and easy gift idea. Finally…I’ve been doing some spring cleaning in my sewing room and have stocked some fun bundles here.

4. Book & Podcast Recommendations

I loved this episode from Sarah explaining the “Ideal Week” concept. And I also loved Greg McKeown’s “The Art of Subtraction” (part 1) podcast this week. I’m also still reading (and enjoying) Peak Mind.

5. Piece and Quilt Sampler Sew Along

I’m super excited about the upcoming Piece and Quilt Sampler Sew Along from my friends Lissa Alexander, Susan Ache, and Fat Quarter Shop. You’ll need to get the Celebrate with Quilts book here. And then go here to download the fabric requirements and block schedule. If you want to sew along with a ready to go kit, Fat Quarter Shop is offering one using Camille Roskelley’s Shoreline collection here. I’m definitely sewing along and am just trying to decide on a palette to work with.

6. Spring Cleaning

I love this article on Decluttering for Spring. And I also liked this article on “How to Use the Three-Word Method to Simplify Your Wardrobe and Home” (I plan to apply this to my fabric stash, too–lol)! I’m also working on a blog post to share some spring cleaning in my sewing room.

7. Recently on the Blog

Below you’ll find a list of posts from earlier this week on the blog:

• Laguna Sunrise Quilts Cross-Stitch Projects
• Moda Blockheads 5 (Round 2) Block 12
• Lilies Wall Hanging + Small Quilt Projects in Laguna Sunrise
