About stephXstitch

StephXstitch is home to my original handmade cross stitch art, kits, patterns, and signed books. I specialize in cheeky, subversive, and pop culture cross stitch!

I am the author of the books "Feminist Cross-Stitch" and "Self-Care Cross Stitch". You can get them wherever books are sold, and you can get signed copies here on my site.

My stitches have been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post, The Chicago Reader, Time Out Chicago, Cross-Stitcher Magazine, London Sunday Times, Craft Room Crash, Paste Magazine, Town & Country Magazine, GoodHousekeeping.com, MrXStitch, Mashable, Crafternews.com, Steotch.com, Bust.com, OC Weekly, My Modern Met, and Uproxx.

My work has appeared on Comedy Central's "Key & Peele", HBO's "We're Here", and in a TV commercial for the Chicago Blackhawks.

All items are designed and handmade by Steph in a smoke-free and pet-free environment.

About Steph

I am an artist, teacher, actor, and musician who resides in Chicago. 

I have been selling online for over 16 years and pride myself in excellent products and customer service. I am the smallest of small businesses. This is a one-woman operation and lots of time and love goes into each and every one of my handcrafted pieces and original designs.

I can also be found selling in-person at Art Fairs and Crafts shows in the Chicago area, as well as teaching cross-stitch classes.

Private Classes

If you want me to come teach you and a group of friends to cross-stitch, we can make that happen! If you have space to host and at least 4 people who want to participate, I will come to you with a beginner kit for each stitching student. The classes I offer provide 2 hours of instruction to get everyone well on their way to completing their first project. Please contact me through the form on this site for more info.
