map it out

I was flipping through the August issue of Martha Stewart yesterday and this one craft caught my eye. Map design is everywhere these days but I have never seen this idea before. It was a great way to document a trip that you have taken. You get a map of the area you traveled through. Then you poke holes in the map along your route. Then you sew along the route using a backstitch. When you hit your destination you put an X. After that you just frame it and you have a beautiful keepsake of your trip.
