I have been wanting to make a Longitude/Latitude Pillow for a long time.
I first saw one in the AWE (At West End) catalog that looked like this...
I didn't want it to say Paris, but my home city of Quincy, IL. So I just Googled Quincy's longitude and latitude to find out the correct geographical coordinates.
Remember, back when I showed a tutorial of how to print on freezer paper, then cut it out and iron it on fabric to use as a stencil, as I did for my Holly Jolly Pillow? If not, HERE is the tutorial.
However, before I got the letters and numbers cut out, I won a Silhouette Digital Cutting Machine from a blog giveaway, so I used it to do the intricate work of cutting.
I followed the same tutorial as the one above and made my own pillow.
I love to add black and white check where ever possible, and used it on the pillow as an accent edging.
So, do you think you would love to make your hometown coordinate pillow?
