I embroidered this map of the boroughs of New York City for my friend Jodi’s birthday gift last year. I plotted all of the apartments she’d lived in—overly accurately, I might add, by overlaying a Google Map of the points atop my borough map, all in Photoshop. This thread was the closest I had to “Jodi aqua,” a color I’ve always associated with her, and red gave it a pop. This came together quickly, and I’m considering making another for myself!

What a creative idea for a personalized gift and it came out wonderfully! I love those two colors together.
Beautiful concept, and beautiful work! Your stitching is gorgeous.
What a lovely idea & gift!
