Saturday Seven 350: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing my Saturday Seven 350: Lifestyle & More for Quilters with a roundup of things I’ve found around the internet this week. I hope you’ll find some sewing, quilting, and lifestyle inspiration here. I’ll be in my sewing room today hoping to work on some works in progress and some overall organizing tasks.

Saturday Seven 350: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

1. Self Care

Today’s self-care ideas revolve around subtracting–because sometimes we just can do it all. First, here are some thoughts on the importance of rest. And here are some timely thoughts on “The Art of Saying No.”

2. Recipes to Try

A dear friend told me she just made this Chicken Cobbler recipe for dinner the other night and it was amazing. Another friend shared that this is her favorite homemade pizza dough recipe, so it’s on my list now, too! And one of my favorite food bloggers just shared this Salted Caramel Peach Crisp–yum!

3. Quilt + Sew

If you’re looking for a quick and easy beginner quilt or project pattern, be sure to check out my most popular post on easy quilts. There are tons of great resources for beginner quilters included in this post, too. Another favorite resource for fast and fun quilts is this post on Jelly Roll Quilt patterns.

4. Book & Podcast Recommendations

This week I listened to a couple of really great podcasts! I loved the Best of Both Worlds episode on Digital Decluttering (I also got a lot of other organizing tips from this). And I also loved the episode from Best of Both Worlds on Designing Your Ideal Work Week.

5. $5 Pattern for August

Since fall is just around the corner, I thought my Fall Dash Mini Wall Hanging pattern would be the perfect pattern to share for my$5 pattern special! Mine is made with our Bountiful Blooms collection.

6. Organizing + Home

I loved this article by organizer Shira Gill on tips for organizing and decanting your pantry. You might want to download this month’s free organizing printable from Clean Mama which is all about organizing closets. And one of my favorite food bloggers/cookbook authors just shared a collaboration with Crate & Barrel–so many great dishes and accessories are included in this collaboration.
