Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 391: Lifestyle & More for Quilters post with a roundup of inspiration I’ve found from around the internet this week. It’s Memorial Day weekend, which means it’s time to start decorating with all of the red, white, and blue! I’ve just returned home from a fabulous retreat with the most amazing quilters! It will be wonderful to relax for a couple of days at home, do a little decorating, and maybe get a little sewing in, too!

Saturday Seven 391: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
First, these ideas for healthy nervous system habits were super helpful for me. Find thoughts and motivation for decluttering for summer here.
2. Recipes to Try
I made a batch of these muffins to take with me on my retreat, and they were amazing! And I’ve never heard of Pickle Slaw for Hot Dogs and Burgers, but you can bet I’m going to give this a try!
3. Quilt + Sew
The Strippy Spools Quilt Along is beginning–find all of the details here. And stay tuned for Moda Blockheads 6 which begins next week. Find details here.
4. Book & Podcast Recommendations
I loved reading 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think by Laura Vanderkam–and I also love this article on the author with reflections on the book and time in general. I also loved Cal Newport’s recent episode on summer schedules and making sure we consider seasonality in our planning.
5. Sewing with Red, White, and Blue
I love a good project with red, white, and blue fabrics. Below you’ll find links to some of my favorites from the past few years (plus, stay tuned for something new coming soon perfect for your patriotic decorating):
6. Home Things
I purchased this bowl for my kitchen, but it would be so good in the sewing room! And finally, I can’t say enough about these Clean Skin Club Cleaning Cloths–I use them every night when cleansing my skin.
7. Recently on the Blog
Below you’ll find the links to the posts from earlier this week on the blog. There are also videos to go along with both of this week’s posts that you can watch here or on our YouTube channel:
