Thursday's guild meeting was amazing. Our speaker was Lora Rocke out of Lincoln, Nebraska. Her work was phenomenal. In addition to her beautiful quilts she does thread painting that is amazing. I hope the photo of the man holding the fish on her business card reflects the beautiful imagery she is able to achieve. The Princess Feather quilt was a crowd-pleaser too. Several guild members commented that she was the best speaker we'd ever had--and we've had some dandies!
Later that afternoon I ventured to a neighboring town to check out a new quilt shop that had just opened. Though the owner 
didn't have a lot of inventory yet, it sure looks to be promising. I found this adorable Moda cowgirl fabric and the wonderful chocolate fabric. (Click for big.)

Any great ideas what to do with these luscious fabrics? Maybe a tote bag from the cowgirl fabric?

I saw a cute sweatshirt converted to a jacket with a patchy fabric like the chocolate.
I'd give the cowgirls to my friend Jackie. She's from Texas.
A little totebag from those fabrics would be really fun. Maybe with some dark, chocolatey brown handles.
How about a pillow case? Then maybe you could dream about chocolate . . . every night *s*
I love that red and green applique quilt in your post...spectacular!!
When you figure out the pink and brown question, let me know, because I have been collecting these reproductions for a couple years...aging the fabric, you know...!
Sounds like a lot of fun - seeing beautiful work of a fabric artist, shopping, an art show. Very nice.
Fun, fun fabrics. I'm not even going to try and figure out what you should do with them! Heck I can't even make decisions for myself lately! Isn't it wonderful when you a guild has a great speaker - I come home so hyped up!
I agree with the sentiment "the best things in life are chocolate"! Cute fabrics. I haven't heard of Laura Rocke before but I'll be on the lookout for her work now, WOW!
