\u2665\u00a0City map quilts. Paris, New York, San Francisco… and your home town!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gasp! <\/em>So gorgeous! They are made by Haptic Lab<\/a>, in Brooklyn. The company was started by architect\/textiles designer Emily Fischer<\/a> in 2009, but the “soft-maps” were originally part of an academic experiment in tactile wayfinding {2002}; the quilts were inspired by Emily\u2019s mother, Peggy, who had begun losing her eyesight from complications of glaucoma.<\/p>\n

There are cities from all of the world available on their website, BUT you can get them to make custom quilts<\/a>! Your favorite runs at your local ski hill, your tiny town, or have your house\/address sewn right onto your street! YES!!! {This is in bold so that you don’t skim over it, because you would hate to miss this part… I just know it.}<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I already said Gasp<\/em>, right? I just moved back to my tiny little home town, and you probably can’t guess how badly I want my town map laid across my bed!!! {Answer:\u00a0Badly!<\/em>}<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more… what better way to teach your baby a little local geography:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love. So, so, so much.<\/p>\n
