Periodic Table of the Elements: The Quilt
A quilt in the shape of the periodic table! In delightful patchwork! With rainbow colors designating element categories! Flickr user “fadinghippie” is a genius!
I twittered today that I wanted to embroider and frame a periodic table, and my friend John sent me the link to this rainbow piece of nerdy/crafty/geeky delight.
What a lucky person the recipient is. My sister is getting closer to finishing her PhD in neuroscience, and I was just going to get her a subscription to “Over-Educated and Under-Employed” magazine.
Now I’ll feel lame if I don’t do something crafty for her, like paper mache a brain and turn it into a lampshade.
Any other suggestions for an appropriate nerd craft item that I could make and bestow upon her when her Day of Nerdoscience arrives?
A circular rug that looks like a petri dish (complete with little fuzzy microbes and colorful molds)!
Ooooo, I like!
I must make my mom make me one of these. She sews.
d: I hope my future wife will be able to sew too. Cause I’ll need a lot of these. 
I can certainly say that the recipient adored the quilt… She stills brings it up in conversation.
I am sure whatever you make for your sister will be loved. You could always make a messenger bag with the PT on it…
Thanks, Kat! You know, you could probably make quite a killing on Etsy or by licensing your design. (If that’s even feasible… I don’t really know)
If I’d received that quilt as a gift, you’d better believe that I would bring it up in every possible conversation. And I’m not even a hardcore chemistry geek!
