Winners announced 

Cartography is the art of mapmaking, so dust off those vintage drafting tools and chart a course towards your next throw pillow design.

Whether you’re inspired by classic tools used to create maps, mythical creatures that often decorate the margins, or the geography of the map itself, this week you’re challenged with incorporating those ideas into a throw pillow design you’d be happy to encounter after returning home from an adventure.
