Saturday Seven 96

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Saturday Seven 96 post. The Saturday Seven Inspiration for Quilters posts are a smorgasbord of fun things for quilters: find patterns, notions, recipes, good reads and more! I enjoy preparing these posts each week and hope you’ll enjoy them as you begin your weekend…

1. It’s Fall!

Fall officially began the other day (spring for those of you in the southern hemisphere, I know). And I’m ready for all of the fall things. Here is a fun post on Fall Porch Décor Ideas. And if you need some fall quilt project inspiration, you can find some here. And my friend Lissa finished a beautiful fall quilt you can see here.

2. Fun Sewing Kits for Kids

Did you know there are some fun new sewing kits for kids available from Moda designer Stacey Iest Hsu? We were introduced to them at spring market, and they are as fun as can be. Find kits for kids to make bags, pouches, pillows, stuffed animals and more here.

3. Good Eats

I want to try these Skillet Lemon Dill Chicken Thighs soon…and I also want to try these Perfect Baked Sweet Potatoes. These potatoes are perfect for fall dinners as well. Finally, I can’t wait to try these Thai Peanut Noodles!

4. To Make

I just loved these beautiful embroidered tea towels my on-line friend Kristin just shared. Read her wonderful blog post sharing her tips and tricks here.

5. Sewing Spaces

You can see a gorgeous new sewing studio here–beautiful and modern! And read my post on Sewing Room Organization tips here. Finally, I also have this post that has a free printable PDF download to help with all things sewing room organization.

6. Intentional Living

I really liked this short read on intentional living. I especially liked the idea of focusing on just one thing each day. Read the article here. I also liked the ideas in this article titled “Fresh-Baked Bread and Hand-Picked Flowers.” Read it here.

7. This Week on the Blog

• Moda Schoolhouse Blog Hop with a Free 18″ Block Pattern
