Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 408: Lifestyle & More for Quilters post with a round-up of things I’ve found from around the internet this week. It has been extra busy here as we have been finishing up our move this week. The final days of moving always seem to be the toughest. But I’m grateful to finally see the light–although I do have more boxes to sort and empty, lol! I’m really hoping to get to my sewing machine soon. Plus, the official start of fall is Monday, and I can hardly wait!
Keep reading for this week’s notes including Delightfully Yours precuts, a free Jelly Roll pattern, and more!

Saturday Seven 408: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care: Slow Down…
I’m always interested in time management as a form of self-care and enjoyed this article recently from one of the first authors I ever read on this subject! And this post debunks some of the myths behind our overwhelmed schedules.
2. Recipes to Try
This Pumpkin Chicken Chili has me intrigued–I always love Gaby’s recipes, so it’s on my list! And here is a fall roundup of recipes and dinner ideas for the season. And how about Caramel Apple Crisp for dessert!
3. Quilt + Sew
Delightfully Yours precuts have started shipping! I have a limited amount in my shop now. And I also have a few 44″ wide Delightfully Yours backings I recently added. (I will have the 108″ wide backings when they ship in a week or two).
And…Chelsi has listed some quilt samples in her shop. If you’re looking for a ready-made quilt to gift, she has a good variety to choose from here!
4. Book + Podcast Recommendations
This week was a filming week for us–we filmed about 7 videos we’ll be sharing later this month and into October. So, my reading and podcast listening time was limited. But I was fascinated by this podcast talking about deep work in the age of AI–very interesting!
5. National Sew a Jelly Roll Day
Today is National Sew A Jelly Roll Day! I’m super excited to let you know that my Anasazi pattern is now a free PDF download available from Moda. The version above is pieced in our Delightfully Yours collection–perfect timing! And if you’re looking for even more Jelly Roll inspiration, find my favorite A Quilting Life Jelly Roll patterns here.
6. Coming Next Week: New Fabric
We are so excited to be able to share our next fabric collection with you at the end of next week. Stay tuned for a fun video on our YouTube channel along with new quilt patterns in the shop. Less than a week to go!
7. Recently on the Blog
Below you’ll find the posts from earlier this week:
- Planner Pen Holder/Bookmark Tutorial (here are the notebooks you saw in the tutorial)
- Moda Blockheads 6: Block 17
