Designed by Erica in the 70's, her vintage map recalls many of her favorite landmarks on Nantucket.
Erica Wilson (1928-2011) dubbed the Julia Child of needlework, brought the gentle art of crewel — as well as cross-stitch, needlepoint and other traditional embroidery techniques — to an international audience through her books, television shows, correspondence courses, syndicated column and retail shops on Nantucket; in Palm Beach; and in Southampton.
