Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 373: Lifestyle & More for Quilters which is a fun roundup post of inspiration I’ve found from around the internet earlier in the week. I hope you’ll use these ideas for your weekend and the week ahead.
Here at home my weekend plans involve a little binding, a little sewing, some organizing, and some planning! I’m also hoping to finish up designing a quilt for my May retreats!

Saturday Seven 373: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
My word for 2025 is Simplicity, so I absolutely loved this article on “Why Simplifying Your Life Is the Best Change You Can Make in 2025.”
2. Recipes to Try
I’m going to have to try these Copycat Chick-fil-A Chicken Minis! I’m also going to try these Air Fryer Steak Bites and Gnocchi! And here are Red and Green Chicken Enchiladas for those of us who want the best of both worlds.
3. Quilt + Sew
This Sewing Organization Bingo card is perfect to jump start your organizing for the new year! And I love my “Little Loves” quilt pieced in our Raspberry Summer fabrics with a scrappy binding from Strawberry Lemonade, Laguna Sunrise, and Raspberry Summer collections. Get the free pattern here. And find a kit using the Riley Blake collection pictured on the pattern here. Finally, here is a free mystery Valentine’s Mystery Sew Along from Joanna Figueroa!
4. Book + Podcast Recommendations
This week on his Deep Questions Podcast, Cal summarized some of the most popular morning routines and gave his thoughts on each–some good ideas here. I also loved this episode from the 10% Happier Podcast on How to Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions. And another good episode I listened to this week was Sarah’s episode on the three essential systems.
5. Cupid Box from Fat Quarter Shop
The fabulous Cupid Box from Fat Quarter Shop is now available to order. My box is on the way, and I can hardly wait for it to arrive so I can see what’s inside. These are among my favorite boxes for the year each year. Order yours now below before they sell out.
6. Organizing + Decluttering
I’ve been working on home and sewing organization and loved this article with rules and tips. And this post shares “10 Simple Steps to Declutter Your Home.” I’ll definitely have some blog posts soon about my progress in several spaces. finally, my friend Vanessa has a new article with tips for How to Declutter Your Sewing Space.

I always enjoy your Saturday newsletter and your podcast and your patterns and fabric. What pattern and fabric is the navy blue quilt pictured above? It’s very pretty!

I almost have my love wall hanging complete. It is so pretty. Everyone should make one. Very simple. So worth it. Love your Saturday blog. I look forward to seeing it every week.
