Well... that was some break!

So, I have been away from this blog for quite some time.  Life got away with me.  As it does.  Since I've been gone I have successfully completed two years of uni and will be begin my third and final year in just under a month.  I bet you're wondering if I had done any quilting during this time.  The simple answer is no.  I have bought fabric, done a little bit of old projects, even completed two projects.  Nothing new though.  However for the last semester of uni I did make a roll-up pen case with matching pencil case.  So, I thought I would share some photos.

 

You may be wondering also, why I decided to start blogging again. Well at the moment I feel a little unbalanced. I am quite sure, in a past post, I mentioned I was in a car accident.  Well, these memories have haunted me recently, and I found quilting really helped bring me back to earth before.  I suppose now, I have to make time to add quilting to my daily routine.  In saying this, I will leave you with a quote that perfectly sums up how I feel about quilting...

"Why did she make things? 

Well, she enjoyed it of course; but it also somehow helped to remember who she was 

and where she came from."

Exciting News

I am very excited to let you all know that I have been accepted to Griffith University to study a Bachelor of Biomedical Science!

Study starts the 22 of July so a few more weeks of quilting to finish projects and get some more underway before the start of the semester.  I don't think that the magnitude of this has hit me yet.  It will probably, when I start buying text books.  Today I am going to pick up student card and enroll in my classes which include - Statistics, Chemistry, Structural Biochemistry, and Functional Molecular Genetics.  How boring right?  Well, only the statistics.  I am currently going through a long recruitment process with Apple and if I successfully get a place on one of their teams I will drop a subject or two so I can work and study.  

The program is three years and while this may limit the amount of quilting I will be able to do I am so excited.  I cannot wait to start this course.  It's such an exciting program and I'm getting closer to my dream of studying medicine.  I can't wait to share this journey with you.  Remembering that quilting will keep me sane during what will be a very busy and challenging program.
