stitches and sweets

Quote
"We’re so young. We’re so young. We’re twenty-two years old. We have so much time. There’s this sentiment I sometimes sense, creeping in our collective conscious as we lay alone after a party, or pack up our books when we give in and go out – that it is somehow too late … What we have to remember is that we can still do anything."

After a whirlwind final semester (and an embarrassing shortage of posts, for which I apologize) … I’ve graduated from college! I feel so fortunate to have spent the past four years on beautiful, wondrous Mayflower Hill. Colby, I will always miss you.

Finally … some stitches! I’ve been working on this string quilt for quite some time, and I now have all 121 blocks completed. I’ve arranged them into a design that I like, and I’m incredibly excited to sew them together into an approximately queen-sized quilt top.

The tutorial that I used to create these blocks can be found on one of my favorite quilting blogs, Film in the Fridge.

How cute is this Kate Spade clutch? Pride and Prejudice is one of my all-time favorite books, so I’m totally lusting after this little beauty!
