Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 393: Lifestyle & More for Quilters. This post features a fun roundup of fun things I’ve found from around the internet this week. Keep reading for my favorites in home, lifestyle, and sewing and quilting!
I have some fun sewing I’m hoping to get done today! I’m also prepping for an upcoming trip to share business insights with shop owners attending the Modavation retreat in Dallas. It’s always fun to get to Moda headquarters–I’m sure I’ll have some fun things to share from that.

Saturday Seven 393: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
For me a perfect summer day might look like journaling in the morning, sewing through the day, and a healthy dinner at night. So of course, I LOVED these ideas on “How to Start a Joy Journal This Summer.” And these 75 Icebreaker Questions are also terrific journal prompts.
2. Recipes to Try
Summer means pasta salads and fruit desserts–here is one recipe in each of those categories. I have to make this Creamy Basil Pasta Salad asap! And for a perfect dessert option–this Fresh Strawberry Cream Pie looks amazing!
3. Quilt + Sew
The second pattern released in the Fat Quarter Shop 2025 Stardust Quilt and Stitch Along projects! Find all of the details here. And if you’re starting Christmas sewing now, Fat Quarter Shop is also sharing this fun Christmas Tree Block pattern.
4. Book & Podcast Recommendations
This week I enjoyed Sarah’s podcasts on Monthly Planning Rhythms and 10 Quirky Planning Habits that Might Work for You.
5. Harbor Quilt Along: Flower Block Row
It’s time for another row for our Harbor Quilt Along. Find this month’s video above or watch on our YouTube channel. The flowers are darling, and you can make them as scrappy as you’d like.
6. Summer Fun
It’s officially travel season, and here are some terrific tips for travel and packing. Also, my go-to travel makeup bag is on sale now and comes in so many fun colors! Finally, with summer here I’m hoping to have some open calendar space.
