The Craftzine Blog has been on a roll lately. They have another great link today.
The Haptic Lab makes handmade quilts of maps. They do ones for Brooklyn or you can commission one of your favorite location.
I love the puckering that the stitches makes. I'm sure it feels amazing under the fingers, especially since they make them in dupioni silk. My brain is churning on the best way to get the map transferred to the fabric. There's so much fun that you could have with this. Green thread around parks. Blue around blocks with libraries and schools. Though the single color does add a certain something to the overall effect.
I'll have to add this to the pile of inspiring ideas.
