Saturday Seven 338: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 338: Lifestyle & More for Quilters. Today’s post shares fun things I’ve found around the internet in the categories of self-care, recipes, quilting, sewing, books and podcasts, home decor and organization and more. I hope you’ll love today’s inspiration and that your weekend is off to a wonderful start!

Saturday Seven 338: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

1. Self-Care

Use these ideas to jumpstart your own personal “Summer Refresh.” I’m planning mine this weekend! I also found these ten questions to be super helpful as I do some creative thinking and planning for the summer ahead.

2. Recipes to Try

I’m definitely going to try this Sweet Spicy Sticky Chicken! I’m also looking forward to trying these Strawberry Oatmeal Cups for a breakfast/snack option. And this copycat Dole Whip looks like a perfect treat for the warmer days that have arrived!

3. Quilt + Sew

Joanna Figueroa and Fat Quarter Shop are kicking off a delightful Vintage Bow Tie Sew Along with Joanna’s new Strawberry Garden Quilt Book. You’ll need the book to sew along, and you can find sew along details on this post.

4. Book & Podcast Recommendations

My favorite listens last week were part 1 and part 2 of The Power of Persistence conversations with Greg McKeown and Ryan Kugler. I’m hoping to have some book recommendations for next week since I’ve got my Kindle packed for a quick trip and plan to read on the plane (more on the trip soon, too)!

5. Everyday Products I Love

First, I’ve been loving these simple baskets for organizing in my closet, bathroom, and pantry. I ordered this cross-body bag for my recent trip and love how much it securely (and stylishly) holds! And I’ve been using these laundry sheets for several months now–no more liquid jugs to haul or store! Finally, these facial cloths have been amazing. I pack them when I travel and use them at home to be sure I get all of my makeup off when cleansing my skin.

6. Quilting Life Academy June 2024 Session
