Toni's Ideas

Things I would really like to do, if I can only hang onto the inspiration until I figure out how.

New Yorker Quilt

A quilt, at least queen sized, featuring elements from the New Yorker magazine. There will be well-known side bar ads down the sides (poke boat, mini cooper), a couple of famous covers (ex pashtuns, new yorker's view), maybe a famous avedon photo, or whoever took lyle lovett, somehow a snippet of a david sedaris piece, maybe the facial recognition illustration, a chast page, a thurber, a cather, an eb white, a new yorker dog cartoon, the banner from talk of the town, an annoying subscription card sticking out over one of the articles. On the back I would like to embroider the names of all the writers, cartoonists, and photographers who have given so much -- from Cather to Gopnik and beyond. I wonder if I can rent an embroidery machine.
