Saturday Seven 420: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 420: Lifestyle & More for Quilters post with so many fun things! It’s been crazy busy here as we just shared a fabric collection yesterday (our third this year)! (Be sure to check out yesterday’s post and video for all of the details on a collection we dearly love)! It has been a little different sewing with fall fabrics while trying to get ready for Christmas, but this collection was also just so. fun. to. sew. with!

I’ll be focusing on all things getting ready for the holidays today and for the remainder of the weekend and week! I have a lot to do, so wish me luck! Keep reading for all of the inspiration and fun ideas in this post.

Saturday Seven 420: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

1. Self-Care

This post has terrific questions to explore if you are decluttering your life (or if you just want to simplify in some areas). I also loved this post on 10 Resolutions You’ll Actually Want to Keep.

2. Recipes to Try

First, I have to try this Roasted Butternut Squash Soup! Also, this roundup of side dishes to go with any meal is awesome–I have several dishes on my to-try list! I will be making these Mexican Breakfast Tortillas (casserole style) for Christmas Eve morning. And I definitely have to try these Mint Chocolate Chip Bars!

3. Quilt + Sew

Birch & Willow! We just shared our upcoming perfectly fall collection yesterday. And while we are in the heart of the holidays, the Birch & Willow patterns are 20% off for the next week. Find them in the shop here. And finally, I was super excited to see this quilt from Fat Quarter Shop with my Al Fresco pattern! If you love lavender and sage, you might want to pick up a kit!

4. Book & Podcast Recommendations

I’ve been focused on something fun this week–a workbook to go along with one of my favorite books (Atomic Habits). My Atomic Habits Workbook arrived the other day, and it’s so very good! It’s so nice that it’s available for all of my year-end and beginning of the year planning!
