Embroidered US Wall Map

Celebrate your home state, commemorate a recent road trip or stitch connections between you and your loved ones.  We’ll explore all of the ways you can embroider your adventures in the “Lower 48” as we embellish a beautiful 1906 map of the contiguous United States custom printed on a half yard (27” x 36”) of cotton linen canvas. 

Perfectly suited for beginners, instruction will cover embroidery basics and essential stitches.  However, students with more embroidery experience are invited to join for a fun refresher course and the opportunity to stitch a large-format map.  All materials (fabrics, embroidery floss, hoops and needles!) along with instructional diagrams are provided and included in the cost of the class.

Please note that this map is 100+ years old and some cartographic changes have taken place in the intervening years – however, the state borders and city names remain largely accurate.  Cleverly designed with guides, you’ll find it easy to sew finished edges at home or wrap your map around a corkboard to pin photos of your friends, family and travels.

Coffee/tea and breakfast snacks will be served, students may bring in their own lunch.
