On the Road for work this week in Austin, TX and spending time with folks from 40 states and 8 countries! It's an eye opening and learning event and Austin is quite a city!
While I'm locked up inside the Austin Hilton most of the day -- we have managed to get out and about a bit.
We visited a
local fabric shop (darling place) and found the most fabulous cotton/linen fabric by Designer Etsuko
Furuya -- called "Echino"for Kokka. Oh My! When I saw this fabric I almost
flipped... it is so beautiful (and a bit pricey). I did manage to
convince myself to buy "A little".... I'm glad I did!
The remainder of our "out and about" time I just let my mind / eye see designs in the landscape. Here are some of the beautiful "things" that made me think of designs for quilts or fabrics. Check out these photos -- Let your imagination flow -- these inspire me -- how about you ?

| Can't you just see a "house" quilt ? |
 |
| A wall mural gone whole cloth ? Beautiful! |
 |
| Floor inlay at the Austin Hilton - more quilting ? |
 |
| The "Frost" ? Building downtown Austin - Ideas ? |
 |
| 12th floor Carpet -- Austin Hilton |
 |
| 12th floor Carpet - Austin Hilton - definately an applique! |
Going to link up with Connie and others this week -- Share the fun -- go check out the beautiful posts!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
