It has been a while since I have shared a project or two...or anything for that matter. My little break ended up being a bit longer than I thought it would be and honestly it has been <em>nice</em>. But, every once in a while, I still find myself wanting to share, so this morning I thought I would sit down, while my kids are still sleeping, and do just that.<br />
<br />
I finished the vintage plus quilt not too long ago and it is my<em> favorite</em> of all the vintage sheet quilts I've made. So pretty, I will definitely need to make another, because this one sold. The sooner, the better, because now that it is gone I am going through withdrawal.<br />
<br />
Someone pinned an image of it on Pinterest, where a sweet girl named Cori saw it and fell in love - a kindred spirit for sure. She traced it back to my blog and contacted me and asked if I could make her one. Since I can be a little slow in the quilting department, I offered to sell this one, knowing I have the supplies to reproduce it for myself later on, at my own leisurely pace.<br />

I started working on this vintage sheet quilt in September. Originally it was throw sized, but after thinking about it for a few more months, I came to the conclusion that we really don't need any more throw size quilts - especially in ultra vibrant colors that really don't match the decor of the main living areas of our home. So, I added 6 more rows and now it is large enough to work as a bed quilt - an extra wide twin. I made my oldest daughter a <a href="http://homesweethideaway.blogspot.com/2010/04/vintage-inspired-bedroom-make-over.html">vintage sheet quilt</a> for her bedroom a couple of years ago. Since then, I have added a lot more prints to my collection that would look fabulous in her room. When this new one is finished, she can alternate it with the original one in her bedroom for a little variety.<br />
<br />
I set out to make a "Plus" quilt like many I have seen on Flickr, where all of the prints fit together like pieces in a puzzle. But, when I laid the quilt top out like that, the large prints blended together and it looked like a colorful mess. I opted instead to add one degree of separation between fabrics with Kona Ash (still a favorite) as a buffer. <br />

Even though it was busy we had a lot of fun. My husband had the day off work which was a real treat. Sometimes mama needs a sidekick...especially when there is so much going on. We went to the costume parade at the school, helped out with two class parties, toasted pumpkin seeds, made yummy rolls and homemade chicken noodle soup. The weather was so <strong>nice</strong> I actually volunteered to take the kids trick-or-treating with my good friend and her kids while my husband passed out candy. Usually I stay home to keep warm but this year we didn't even need coats. We woke up this morning to much cooler temps. and rain that turned into snow so we<strong> lucked</strong> out. It definitely feels like November now. As long as it doesn't feel like December anytime soon, I'll be OK. I'm not ready for that kind of madness yet!<br />

The retreat house was in the middle of Idaho farm country with no neighbors in sight. It was beautiful...until I had to drive down the dirt road and park in the pitch black of night to get cell phone coverage, then it was just plain spooky.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">There were a lot of lone star quilts and triangle star quilts in the works, so I jumped on the bandwagon. I rarely use patterns, so following detailed directions was a little tricky for me. Fortunately, Kathy was there to help me navigate - she is a lone star<strong> super-hero.</strong><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We went for a drive this morning up one of the nearby canyons - something I have been anxiously looking forward to all week. I packed up my nice camera to capture autumnal glory in high resolution, only to find I had left the memory card at home. Such a typical Natalie moment. Luckily I had my little pocket camera in my bag. Not the digital quality I was hoping for, but beautiful nonetheless. Color like this is awe inspiring, even when the clarity is less than perfect. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR27OtKicv30tOmx1tFOqkB1xKT3cmEUNdMwSTEG9tXuHsSLe4lF0fOKd-_io7nLnYyIjPe9f5rYP4KGArao8uS0YOUYBSmW2OkeiYHXqPgWNY98v90eaLOdmnY0UkVq-o0foHn74YWQ/s1600/IMG_1854.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR27OtKicv30tOmx1tFOqkB1xKT3cmEUNdMwSTEG9tXuHsSLe4lF0fOKd-_io7nLnYyIjPe9f5rYP4KGArao8uS0YOUYBSmW2OkeiYHXqPgWNY98v90eaLOdmnY0UkVq-o0foHn74YWQ/s640/IMG_1854.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

The experts have said local mountain fall foliage is at its apex right now, and I concur - the color is <strong>amazing</strong>. However, snow in the higher elevations is coming later this week - hard to believe when we are still experiencing temps in the 80's. If you live around here (Utah), you better go quickly. By the time autumn really hits the valleys, the canyons are done, and this is one show you don't want to miss!<br />

I am so grateful and humbled by the fact that you still stop by, even when my posts are few and far between. <strong>Thank you. </strong>As I write this post, I realize I am, again, woefully behind and overwhelmed by all I want to share. I have been juggling more than one project the last few weeks - I have 4 new quilts in the works (thanks to a quilt retreat I went to - more to come on that), all in various stages of completion. My sewing room looks like a bomb went off, but it's the kind of mess that makes me happy. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last week I <em>finally</em> quilted the <a href="http://homesweethideaway.blogspot.com/2011/04/soulful.html">Soul Blossoms quilt.</a><br />
<br />
Here's the finished <span style="font-size: x-small;">(what a nice word)</span> version:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">The back is Kona Celery with a little scrappy stripe to dress up the seam. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The quilting mimics the overall pattern of the quilt, only on an angle. <br />
This was this first time I've used an erasable fabric marker to to mark my quilting lines.<br />
It was kind of tedious - took longer than the basting - but totally worth it.<br />
My straight line quilting tends to be on the wonky end of the spectrum without assistance.<br />
After quilting and washing, it measures 62" square.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We recently returned home from a camping trip to Redfish Lake in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Camping (in a tent!) is always so much work, I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. Amazingly, <strong>it was.</strong> On day 5, when it came time to pack up camp, I was sad. I wished we were staying 2 more nights like some of the others in our big group. Crazy! I don't know who was more surprised by this, my husband or myself. I think the fact that we don't have a baby anymore - all of our kids are potty trained and sleep through the night - was a big part of it. Having flush toilets and showers nearby was a bonus. Being with my favorite people, surrounded by beautiful scenery was the cherry on top.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">A <strong>crazy</strong> thing happened this week...I actually found a few spare minutes to dust off my sewing machine and crank out a little project or two. What a busy month it has been! Today is the last day of school for our kids and we are more than ready for our summer break to begin. Since we are kicking off summer with 4th of July celebrations, I was feeling a little patriotic. I had a Rural Jardin layer cake that was just begging to be played with - the perfect colors for Americana quilting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I cut the 10 inch layer cake squares into 5 inch squares and, setting aside 9 red, 7 white/beige and 5 blue squares, sewed this charm squares quilt top.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0ReM1RFbodvhjxrazJZkhlUmJyWQHAS8cDlZqHWyHAR4kwqou0RGNF8GCW4s0nm_2QDqiUqL7RQnCkNNHZFmAqggjzlXWP9RXvqHGXa6HORgA622ulg4pMFw22zYxj723TKY-rHekA/s1600/DSC_0001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0ReM1RFbodvhjxrazJZkhlUmJyWQHAS8cDlZqHWyHAR4kwqou0RGNF8GCW4s0nm_2QDqiUqL7RQnCkNNHZFmAqggjzlXWP9RXvqHGXa6HORgA622ulg4pMFw22zYxj723TKY-rHekA/s640/DSC_0001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

As for the pillow, I cut the 21 squares I had set aside into 2 1/2" squares to make the flag.

They were off track from school (year round), our oldest son for the last time before starting middle school this fall and going on a traditional school schedule. This was our last chance to do Disney off-season (less crowded) without skipping school, so we jumped on it.<br />

We started out with a loaded mini-van and four clueless kiddos at an early morning soccer game, the Wasatch Mountains in the background (I love the mountains). We hit the road right after the game. 10 + hours later, with more the 700 miles under our belts, we were taking an evening stroll along the beach, the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean lapping at our feet (I also love the beach). It makes me think of America the Beautiful - we went (by auto) from purple mountains majesty to the shining sea, all in one day. <br />

We kept on driving and passed Mesquite. Finally, we stopped at a Travel Stop just before Vegas, whipped out the video camera and told the kids, "We have already gone more than 400 miles, we can stop here or we can go just another 300 miles and spend the week in California at....DISNEYLAND." It was a no brainer - such <strong>happy</strong> little travelers they were.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We spent three days at Disneyland and California Adventure. Amusement parks are not my favorite way to spend time, but I actually like Disneyland. My favorite ride: Soaring Over California - it even smells good. I'll spare you all the photos of our cheesy mugs at Disney - I didn't take my big camera, so the pictures aren't the best. Mostly crazy action shots.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I <strong>need </strong>some. We have places to go and a whole lot of stuff to keep track of. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First up, I made four new back of the car seat organizers. I made <a href="http://homesweethideaway.blogspot.com/2009/11/all-stuff-i-wouldve-posted-about.html">some a couple of years ago</a> and we used them so much they wore out. The new versions have more pockets, some with pleats and elastic. The idea orginally came from <a href="http://www.themayfly.com/weblog/2007/10/the_car_organizer_howto.html">here</a>, but I have made some modifications.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We needed more storage on our umbrella stroller. It has a basket underneath,but it is really small. I went digging through my fabric and made this big stroller tote. It really is BIG. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I added ties to the bottom to help secure it to the stroller:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lastly, I made a new tote bag for me. Something to put all my books and goodies in (because I don't have access to my own, personal, back of the seat organizer). I picked up this fabric a few weeks ago at JoAnn's when I went to scope out the new Denyse Schmidt fabrics. It's tree hugger fabric - I heart trees. I was going to have it finished in time for Earth Day, but you know how that goes. I referenced this <a href="http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/08/28/to-market-to-market-a-market-bag-tutorial/">great tutorial</a>, but </div><div style="text-align: center;">made some modifications to size (mine is 2 inches longer), as well as added additional storage options.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started working on it last fall and it was on my sewing table for quite a while. At queen size, it is the largest quilt I have made. Machine quilting it on my domestic machine was a bit challenging - I am sure my lines are a little more wonky than straight in places, but I was wrestling with mountains of fabric and bulk (or so it seemed). The design is one I <a href="http://homesweethideaway.blogspot.com/2010/11/vintage-block-day.html">sketched up</a> one day. I used Kona Ash for the solid.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been a subscriber of Country Living magazine for years. I save my favorites copies. Recently I came across an oldie - September 2004. I flipped through it for a second and came to the above 2 page spread of residential bliss. A total <strong>dream</strong> house. Seriously. It meets so many requirements on my wish list and particularly <strong>nails</strong> location. I don't dream about McMansions, I dream about farmhouses...in idyllic settings.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also like looking at house plans <a href="http://homesweethideaway.blogspot.com/2008/05/im-dreaming-of-white-farmhouse.html">(it's genetic)</a> . If you, too, like to dream about houses with porches, <a href="http://www.stephenfuller.com/index.php">Stephen Fuller Designs</a> is a fun site full of possibilities. <br />
This <a href="http://www.stephenfullerhouseplans.com/plan_details2.php?pid=5979">one </a>has always been a favorite of mine.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> A couple of items came from thrifting, but most came from family (stuff they were throwing out).

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A few years ago, there was an article featuring a red dresser. I still remember the story - a lady found it on the side of the road and brought it home with her. It was quirky, colorful and an example of how you don't need to spend big money to furnish your home with character.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> We recently refinished one of our old master bedroom dressers for our 5 year old son. We used spray paint this time. I wanted to antique it, but my hubby wasn't on board. I think he is tiring of the <em>old</em> look. It doesn't have as much aged character as the one from the magazine but it's a another item to check off the to-do-list. Sometimes, just finishing something feels like an accomplishment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have so many childhood memories of time spent on a trampoline - sleep outs where we would all end up in a big pile in the middle by morning, jumping with the sprinklers underneath, and all the hours spent trying to master the back flip.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are also in the middle of a busy soccer season. It's a 4 day a week commitment (for me), and sometimes we are double booked with our two boys, but it is something we really love. My oldest son had an away game in Northern Utah this past week and we were able to visit some of our old stomping grounds in Cache Valley. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Every Spring we vacation in Southern Utah - it is one of our favorite traditions. It signifies the end of one season and the beginning of another. The end of winter and the busy season at work for my husband, and the reawakening of <strong>life</strong>. Winter is tough on our family. We are not our our true selves unless we are running free in the wide open, with the sunshine bouncing off our shoulders, exploring the beautiful world we live in. It felt so good to be free again. Since I love looking at travel pictures (always looking for new ideas), and those of scenic beauty, I thought I would share a few. All of the pictures below were taken at Pioneer Park above St. George, or in Snow Canyon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My oldest daughter just celebrated her 9th birthday (cannot believe how fast it goes by!). For some reason, her birthday tends to bring out the sewist in me. Last year, I went <a href="http://homesweethideaway.blogspot.com/2010/04/vintage-inspired-bedroom-make-over.html">all out</a>. This year I managed a little more moderation. Instead of a quilt, I made a festive little bunting out of my growing pile of vintage sheet scraps.<br />
<br />
The girl <strong>loves</strong> to read. I like to think it is a trait she inherited from me. :) She also adores all things pertaining to owls, wolves, dragons, Harry Potter...I could go on. Just depends on what she's reading. I was inspired by this <a href="http://blueelephantstitches.blogspot.com/2011/03/beach-tote.html">beach tote</a>, and decided to make her a personalized book bag for road trips. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">On her birthday, I checked her out of school and we went out to lunch and to Barnes and Noble to pick out a few new literary treasures. Is there anything better than a book store?! <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Remember my ambitious plan - a different master bedroom quilt for every season of the year? Well, I can check spring off the list. This is the largest quilt I have made - I definitely felt more like a tortoise than a hare during every step of the process, but in the end it was worth it because I truly love it. It is bright and colorful and perhaps a little crazy for a master bedroom, but exactly what I am craving right now. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
