Maps always give me a warm cozy feeling. Especially now that we here in NZ are in the grip of a freezing-cold winter, i just wish I could wrap myself up in a map and stay snug forever - ahhhh. Luckily for me, there are niche operators out there specialising in making map-quilts! Haptic Lab, for example, is solely dedicated to producing a wide range of cool quality quilt products (be sure to click on their readymades and store tabs too) and Leah Evans is an artist who is further exploring how a simple craft can become beautiful art or indeed a quilty pleasure (yeah, i crack me up too!)
