Hello, friends! And Happy Easter if you are celebrating this weekend! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 436: Lifestyle & More for Quilters post with a roundup of inspiration I’ve found from around the internet this week. I hope you’ll find some ideas for your weekend and the week ahead. I’ve also got the $5 April pattern to share plus some other fun things!
Here at home, I plan to spend a good amount of time in my studio and at home. The weather will be beautiful if the winds calm a bit, so I might even get a couple of walks in. And I’m trying to get very organized for the busy month ahead in preparation for our trade show in May.

Saturday Seven 436: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
I loved this article on the 7 Types of Rest You Need to Feel Your Best. And here are 8 Things to Let Go of When You’re Craving a Simpler Life.
2. Recipes to Try
If you’re still looking for ideas for tomorrow–this Easter Brunch Spread roundup post has lots of yummy dishes. And here are more ideas for Easter dinner recipes. This Creamed Spinach Stuffed Salmon looks amazing! And this is one of my favorite springtime salads!
3. Quilt + Sew: $5 for April
Eclairs is the $5 pattern for April. This is pictured above in our Delightfully Yours collection and is absolutely beautiful in any color combination or group of fabrics. It’s beginner friendly and uses a charm pack, a layer cake, and a contrast print to tie it all together! Additionally, my patterns are on sale this month for 25% off at Fat Quarter Shop. If there is a pattern you’ve been waiting to get, now is the time! Finally…I will be hosting a sew-along beginning in June for my Poinsettia Stars Block of the Month Quilt pattern—kits are available here.
4. Book & Podcast Recommendations
So much to share here today! I loved hearing the Deep Questions podcast with Arthur Brooks earlier this week. After listening, I immediately ordered Brooks’s newest book, and it is excellent!
5. Early Poinsettia & Pear Precuts
My Sample Spree order of Poinsettia & Pear precuts arrived yesterday, and I’ve got some fun things available in the shop. There are Layer Cakes, Jelly Rolls, Honeybuns, Charm Packs, and Mini Charms available.
