Saturday Seven 397: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
I loved this post on How to Plan the Perfect Summer Solo Date! And I also loved this article on Finding Calm in Complexity. (The author’s book The Good Life is also one I enjoyed).
2. Recipes to Try
This Zucchini Pasta looks amazing! And here are some Easy Chicken Quesadillas with lots of customizable options. And finally, I’m going to make these Easy Fruit Dessert Bars for a family gathering next week!

First, be sure to grab my Good Vibes pattern while it is just $5 for this month. And here is a tutorial for a darling Christmas Advent Calendar. Finally, the quilts Elizabeth shares in this post are just stunning!
4. Book & Podcast Recommendations
I finally got some time to listen to some podcasts this week! Here are some of my favorites.
- Best of Both Worlds 2025 Mid-Year Review (I do love hearing about other people’s goals and methods of revising).
- Should We Fear Cognitive Debt from Deep Questions by Cal Newport (fascinating)
5. A Quilting Life Academy
There is just a week before my next session of the A Quilting Life Academy Begins–but there is definitely plenty of time to sign up.
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.
