Hello, friends! I hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start! Today I’m sharing my Saturday Seven 396: Lifestyle & More for Quilters post. My Saturday posts are a fun roundup of inspiring things I’ve found from around the internet throughout the week. I hope you’ll enjoy this week’s mix.
I’m going to be doing a little sewing this weekend as it’s expected to be incredibly hot. I’m also hoping to do some organizing in my sewing room and get some scrap bundles ready to list in the shop for next week!

Saturday Seven 396: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
I love all of these ideas for Finding Success in Trying Something New! And here are seven mindsets to declutter now (you’ll feel better for sure)!
2. Recipes to Try
These Cheddar Wrapped Pigs In a Blanket definitely aren’t healthy but would be a fun treat for your 4th of July celebration. And here is a terrific roundup of 4th of July Recipes and another roundup with 40+ Recipes for Summer Holidays and Barbeques. And finally, this Easy Lemon Ricotta Pasta is on my menu for next week.
3. Quilt + Sew
Kick off your summer sewing with this free charm pack pattern from Moda! I’m hoping to make one soon! Get the pattern here. Also, Fat Quarter Shop just shared this terrific guide to the different Bella Solids White Fabrics.
4. Book & Podcast Recommendations
This week I listened to this episode of Happier with Gretchen Rubin on whimsy–some really cute and fun ideas were shared. I feel like a lot of my favorite podcasts are on summer break, so I’m hoping to get more reading done this week!
5. Brightly Sampler Sew Along + June 2025 Sew Sampler Box Video

I also shared the June Sew Sampler Box and a fun new scissor set from Fat Quarter Shop. Watch the video above or on our YouTube Channel and find the box details and scissor set below:

6. A Quilting Life Academy Begins Soon!
Doors are open now to register for my next session of my Quilting Life Academy course for beginner and intermediate level quilters. This will be the final session of this course for 2025, so if you’ve been thinking about signing up, don’t wait! We will be starting the 6-week course on Monday, July 14th. My course takes you from start to finish with videos you can watch again and again on every step of the quilting process. We also make a beautiful star sampler, and there are lessons on organizing, tools, and more with downloadable printables and small projects.
