Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Saturday Seven 437: 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.
Here at home this weekend I’m making one of Chelsi’s new quilt patterns. I always love her patterns and am really having a good time sewing this one! I’ve also got a fun project to sew this week for an upcoming magazine edition–really excited to be sewing that quilt as well. When I finish both of these quilts, I plan to work on a couple of little items for my booth at the H&H Americas event. Lots of sewing in the works!

Saturday Seven 437: Lifestyle & More for Quilters
1. Self-Care
I loved this list of 30 Things to Do This Spring–so many of them are wonderful self-care and relationship-care ideas. And this spring-themed post also has a lot of self-care inspiration…
2. Recipes to Try
I’ve never made or tried Overnight Oats–but I’m going to change that and try this Best Overnight Chia Oats recipe (if anyone has another version they love, let me know)! I can’t wait to make this Asian Wonton Chicken Salad. Finally, this Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl Cake looks like the best spring/summer dessert–a must-make!
3. Quilt + Sew
This free Fat Eighth Shortcut Quilt from Fat Quarter Shop is super cute! And I loved reading about this Antique Ocean Waves Quilt–it’s absolutely gorgeous! Finally, put May 10th on your calendar for the Fat Quarter Shop Jolly Bar Day–details here.
4. Book & Podcast Recommendations
Designing Your Ideal Week from The Productive Woman was a good one. Additionally, she has a worksheet to help you plan yours. I’m also super excited that this new cookbook is arriving next week–I’ll let you know next week how it is. I’ve had this on pre-order for nearly a year, I think!
5. A Quilting Life + (Sherri & Chelsi) Retreat Registration
Registration opens this morning at 8 a.m. PST for the A Quilting Life (Sherri and Chelsi) with Liza Taylor of Liza Taylor Handmade retreat in Anaheim, California November 1-4, 2026. Be sure to register early, as our retreats in 2025 did fill rather quickly. We hope to see you there!
6. Shop Update
I’ve been doing some spring cleaning and have added 5-yard quilt backings, some end-of-bolt pieces, and some fun Sherri & Chelsi fabrics to the shop. I’m planning to do an update each weekend until I get my stash a little more manageable. For best selection, check in on Friday evenings before the Saturday Seven post goes up.
