It's been quite a while since my last post and a bunch has happened since then. Since the last time I checked in with all of you, I was working on my last quarter in college. Well, this month would mark almost exactly 2 years ago that I attended my last quarter of college. I was most definitely working on some cool projects in my eyes, and they are still something I would like to explore. For now, I will tell you what's going on currently.
Since graduation, I had to slow down my running due to pain and injury. But don't you worry, I picked up cycling. I've always somewhat worked with the cycling industry since high school, so it was only a matter of time... Well here I am now living in the big ol' city of Atlanta. I worked for the company Blue Force Gear (www.blueforcegear.com) for about exactly a year before I decided that the military industry wasn't for me. I highly value the knowledge and experience that I gained from working in such a different industry, but it just wasn't quite hitting the happy button enough for me, so with my growing interest in cycling, I decided it was time to pursue the sports industry path again.
Low and behold, I got a job with a fantastic bike shop-- Atlanta Cycling. So back in December, I took a shot in the dark, picked up and moved. Now I live here in Marietta, and of course since my work industry flip flopped, so did my hobby interest, and I am back to wanting to reintroduce my design work and quilting. My mother gave me the inspiration and push to pursue quilting, and now over the next few years, I will make as much effort as I can to see what I can do there. For now, it's all about me exploring quilting techniques and patterns and getting back into the practice of making samples.
Though the past couple weeks have put a hiccup in my productivity, here are some of the samples that I have started.
