Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 400: Lifestyle & More for Quilters post. This is number 400 in a series of Saturday posts where I share a variety of inspiration I’ve found from around the internet. I share things I think will inspire quilters and sewists with self-care articles, recipes, quilting and sewing ideas, and home organization and lifestyle articles. I also share a roundup of my blog posts from earlier in the week. Keep reading for all of the fun!

Saturday Seven 400: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
These 10 Little Mindset Shifts can change everything. And here are helpful ideas for staying hydrated. And finally, I love this little piece on “puttering.” I’m a “putterer,” too!
2. Recipes to Try
This Chipwich Ice Cream Cake is the ultimate in homemade ice cream sandwiches. And these S’mores Scones–a must-make!
3. Quilt & Sew
Love scraps?! Then you’ll love the ideas here: How to Make a Scrap Quilt. Then, go to this post for some free patterns for quilts and quilt blocks.
4. Book & Podcast Recommendations
This podcast from Cal Newport on The Texting Dilemma brought up so many great points about unhealthy phone use, and how texting actually does affect men and women. And I’m currently reading (and loving) How to Be Busy: Unhurried Living When Your Calendar is Chaotic.
5. New Shop Bundles
I’ve been doing summer cleaning and organizing and have added a variety of new Sherri & Chelsi fabrics to the shop along with some FQ bundles from other designers.
6. DIY Quilt Ladder
Ladders are a terrific way to store and display quilts–here is a great tutorial for making your own! There is also a video available and a detailed supply list to make this for under $30.
