Cross your art and call me Oprah: designs and mashups paying tribute to this millennial’s favorite things. Usually relevant, rarely reverent, shop small and stimulate my economy.

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.
When I found black aida cloth I realized I could mimic film stills and combine cross stitch with my graphic design experience and pop culture obsessions: self-care for me, smiles all around.
Thank you for shopping locally, gifting thoughtfully, and supporting my guiding threads: comical, practical, radical.
