The Long Thread - new favorite landing place!

Monday, September 14, 2009

Awhile back I found a new favorite blog, The Long Thread -packed with color, ideas, patterns, tutorials, and Etsy finds- it's a virtual hub of inspiration! I discovered the Long Thread after my checkbook cover was included in the Friday Finds (yes, all the way back in July!). However, I've been checking back often and my list or projects gets longer & longer with each posting. I love the new mini quilt car mat- if Little Man Jack wasn't so destructo I'd consider adding that to my list :)

My current list of projects include (for home & for Etsy):

- Wee Wonderfuls doll for Jack
- name pennant for Jack
- new frame pouches (awaiting the frame arrivals)
- finish stacked coin quilt
- redo the quilt I made my husband for our wedding...it was one of my first... (quilts not weddings)
- wall hanging for keys & letters & such
- something Halloweeny
- pillows....patchwork maybe?
- first wallet for Jack
- new baby items for Grasshopper store
- something embroidered...a tote? a holiday ornament? hmmm
- Jack's cowboy costume (this require more assembling really, but a project nonetheless)
- kitchen towels & placemats for our home. need something to spruce up this abode!
- a scrap quilt. for who? don't know, just itchin' to piece together colors o' fabric

Ok, now that this list is permanently transcribed in the big old world of internets, maybe I'll get it all done!

Now that you've written it down, you HAVE to do it-- love it! : )

You mentioned a name pennant for Jack. Do you have a tutorial/pattern you're using, or something in your head? I'd like to make something for my girls' rooms, but I'm not sure what...

Take care!
