Inspiration while at work on Thursday.

I'm working on a logo for a program at the Chamber called "Great Cities" and all I can think of is the Great Wide logo.

Purchases

I bought 3 different fabrics this weekend at the Style Station in between Waco and West.

I'm buying a macbook pro this week.

Sweet.

D-sign.

okay. i've been thinking about what i would call my own design firm if i ever get the chance to start one. my new last name is davis, and design starts with a d. soooo...i might be on to something here.

if you click here, you can see just how many davis design firms already exist. so that wouldn't work.
in fact, waco has it's own "davis design studio." it is an architecture firm.

davis design in denver is a graphic design/ad firm. and their stuff is just ok. and my firm couldn't just be ok.

the new masthead on my blog has a d and a sign. Get it? d-sign... haha. anyways. D-sign wouldn't be a good name either.

so...i dunno. just something else to think about.

i like these design firm names, though: (or maybe just their design)
McGarrah Jessee
The Decoder Ring
Entermotion Design Studio
AM Design
many more

words that cannot be in the name: pixel, byte, creative, graphic...and design is iffy, too.

i like this one.

It's called Party Hats.

quilting

i made a t-shirt quilt during college and it is terrible. last night i decided i would start stitching around the designs on the quilt to make it more quilt-like. i was terrible at it. but this is only the beginning.

last weekend i bought a rotary cutter and a self-healing board so that i could start making a quilt. i have a book that explains how to do stuff.

my goal: finish a quilt by this time next year.

i want to use vintage fabrics, though. and i'm having a hard time coming up with those. so i'm just beginning.

i like these fabrics. and these.

Where else?

I'm pretty impressed with this lady's quilting. Click picture to view her blog.

Quilt like.

Bike maps.

McKinleyBrown. Waco. Nice.

Have you seen the tube map cover? Kimberly brought me one of these a while back when she went to England. I kept it because I liked the cover. This is even better.

I like old stuff.

Today's inspiration: Red Antenna. I'm liking their stuff.
