ADORABLE Fabric USA Map

I just copied and pasted this from So you think your Crafty. So this is in another crafters words.


Craft #3 – US Map Wall Hanging

This project even rhymes, a scrap map! I used 50 different little scraps to make this map of America wall hanging. It’s bright and colorful and each state is packed with personality.

It was really fun to choose a specific fabric print or solid for each different state. And I have a new found appreciation for each state’s curves and lines. This project is a great geography refresher! Each state has been delicately topstitched.


I always have a large supply of muslin scraps, so I found one just big enough for the map. Once the map was done I wrapped it around a scrap of plywood I had from another project and hung it up with a piece of lace that was hiding in the scrap pile. The lace reminds me of colonial outfits, so I thought it was the perfect fit. This would be a fun project for a kids room or a classroom.

Store front idea

I had this wild thought today on my drive down to SLC. I saw this old train car at smith and Edwards in the parking lot. How awesome would it be to have a store front in an old vintage train car!
