I thought it'd be fun for this one to retrace my steps around the country. I grew up in Minnesota and if you follow the arrows around, you can see that I moved to California for college and during college spent time living in New York City and then outside Philadelphia. After returning to California, I moved back to Minnesota and then to upstate New York where I am now.

It's kind of crazy to see where I've lived on a map like this. I hope Anne likes how it came together.

To share a little of the process, here's the map I printed out in order to trace the states and figure out the arrow paths. I machine appliqued the states and then I embroidered the blue outline and the all of the arrows.

this looks like so much fun...i love these
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! If I were to do this I would only have one state and no lines, lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know where to start because I love this SO much!. I really love how you cut the states out of fabric and then embroidered the paths. Thank you for taking the time to do this in the midst of a busy summer and exciting wedding plans!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!
