/cross stitch artist who steals attention via oddity, awe, and a ton of tiny-ass Xs


Cross your art and call me Oprah: modern designs and original mashups paying tribute to this woke millennial’s favorite things. Usually relevant, rarely reverent, shop small and stimulate my economy by purchasing framed cross stitches and eco-conscious merchandise.

setting the scene

Not your mama’s cross stitch, though scene‑stitcher is a tribute to my late mom’s crafty skills, loving legacy, and immigrant spirit. She taught me the fundamentals long ago for my first Tweety Bird cross stitch, and I requested a COVID-era refresher during what would be our last Thanksgiving together.

Finding black aida cloth I realized I could mimic screen stills by combining cross stitch with graphic design (is my passion) and my pop culture obsessions: self-care for me, laughs all around as the American elite profit while normies persist.

Thanks for shopping locally, gifting thoughtfully, and supporting scene-stitcher’s guiding threads: comical, practical, radical.
