Saturday Seven 355: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
Do you make seasonal fun lists? It’s always fun to have something to look forward to. Print your own copy of the autumn bucket list from A Beautiful Mess and fill it out. And these “7 Essential Habits to Living an Intentional Life” provide a lot of ideas for self-care planning.
2. Recipes to Try
Chili season is just around the corner, and here is a homemade Chili Seasoning mix to try. And this Sticky BBQ Chicken Meatballs with Broccoli Slaw looks like a perfect end-of-summer dish. And my friend Jodi said this Applesauce Cake is the best from-scratch cake she’s ever made.
3. Quilt + Sew
Fat Quarter Shop just shared a delightfully cute beginner friendly Trick-or-Treat bag tutorial. Also, how cute are these pumpkin pincushions from Moda? Finally, find the Moonbeams Quilt Along pieced backing details here.
4. Book + Podcast Recommendations
Greg McKeown just shared parts 1 and 2 of interviews with author Jodi Wellman on living a life with no regrets. Wellman focuses on understanding the reality of our own mortality to help us focus on living a full and joyful life today. Both conversations are interesting and thought-provoking.

5. Fall Decor Guide Printable
I’ve been getting out all of the fall decor and setting everything out for the change of season. Be sure to download this helpful printable with ideas for fall decorating plus space to record your decor items, storage, and placement.
6. Spooky Box Pre-Orders + August 2024 Sew Sampler Box
First, if you haven’t already, be sure to pre-order your 2024 Spooky Box which will ship at the end of this month. The Spooky Box is a limited edition box with Halloween-themed fabric, notions and pattern.
