Tomorrow! My short break from art fairs comes to an end. I am beyond excited to be returning to the International Women’s Day Market for the 2nd year in a row. Myself and many other amazing woman-owned businesses will be selling our wares Saturday and Sunday from 11:00-5:00 at
I have plenty of finished wall art, DIY patterns and kits, and copies of my books ready to personally sign for you.
See you there, Chicago!

Happy Birthday to me!
41 is less of a milestone, and the years are going faster. Last year I was writing about the turmoil my country was facing and that has only intensified over the last year. But I’m still full of gratitude today.
I am grateful that I have a platform I can use for good. All of you are a part of that. Thank you!
I am grateful that I can continue my one-woman business making art in a world increasingly filled with AI garbage. Thank you for continuing to support human artists and small businesses. It is hard out here for us, especially now. But I’m going to keep at it as long as I can.
I am grateful for my partner, my friends and family, my online cross-stitch community, and my Chicago artist/maker community.
I am offering a birthday sale for the rest of January at stephXstitch.com Use code “Happy41Steph” for 25% off your order. This applies to all PDF patterns, DIY kits, and framed pieces.

I am going to be a very busy lady this November and December!
You’ll be able to shop my wares in Chicago, Madison, and for the first time: Detroit!
See you soon, stitch lovers. 🎄🪡 🧵

New pattern 🍂 🍁
I’m loving the cooler temperatures and lovely changing leaves in Chicago. It’s definitely cozy stitching weather.
While we fight for what we believe in, it is also important to rest and feed ourselves creatively. It’s even better when that restful hobby can involve creating something with an important message. A win-win, in my book.
You can find this one at stephXstitch.com and in my Etsy shop
