Assignment: Bring to class a visual representation of the most important "places" you have experienced over the course of your life... I hadn't had an excuse to use my sewing machine since coming to college, and this project was my chance. Using a variety of different fabrics that I had brought along to school, I sewed pieces together in a quilt-like fashion, each square representing an event in my life. Each column represents an era of my life. From left to right:      San Antonio- I was born there and lived there for 7 years.      Boerne- I moved to Boerne in 2nd grade and lived there until 5th.      Victoria- I moved to Victoria in 5th grade and completed public education here.      Austin- College! UT Austin and my new home. To learn more about what each piece of fabric represents about me, click that piece on the left. A page will open up here with a larger image and a brief explanation.
