Wow..I'm clearly excellent at maintaining this site :) It has been a crazy couple of months since my last post. To summarize, I no longer live in Central Oregon. Instead, an opportunity to teach the art history I love has landed me back in my birth state, Nebraska. I no longer work in the quilt store, obviously, though I do still manage their webpage to some extent from here. The move to Nebraska has been interesting- driving across the country with all my possessions and a grumpy cat, apartment hunting in a new city, moving in the snow. The adventures never seem to stop! One definitely positive outcome of all this, besides the job, is that I have my own space again! Everything I own, save for clothes, has been in storage since I graduated from grad school and it has been so nice to get out all of my little goodies. Hello sparkly red mixer, nice to see you my nice black desk... I digress. I've finally got a second bedroom- can anyone say quilt room?! Well, quilt room/office. Have to write those Power Points and lectures somewhere!
I'm particularly proud of my little design wall, which consists to scrap
pieces of batting wrapped around Styrofoam sheets from Home Depot. Not bad for $6.80.
Also, I have discovered that the hanging shoe racks you can buy at discount places are wonderful for storing fabric! It was so nice to put all that fabric away- you get to reacquaint yourself with all the fabric that inspires you. It also reminds me of my growing list of projects...and I hope I'll finally get to work on them!
