Sweet Home Sweet

It's been a little over a year since my senior show. Can you believe it?! I cannot. It felt like the culmination of my life's work at the time, which perhaps it was, but so much has happened since. Rather than reminisce where life has taken me since, though, I wanted to take a peek at where my senior show quilts are now.

Sometimes I look back at the collection and feel nostalgic that none of them are hanging on my walls. I'm sad that the one I kept for myself was purchased by the school. I wish I'd kept another for my apartment. Then I remember: they are all treasured in their new home sweet homes, hung in bedrooms, above fireplaces, and on office walls. Each quilt is loved and brings a little piece of love with it. I cannot find it in myself to be bitter about that. Instead, I keenly feel the distance between my friends and I, and I wish them and their quilts the best in their Sweet Homes.
