Before I interviewed the organiser of 'Stitch n Bitch Hamilton', I had a quick look on the net and I found a massive online craft community operating.
Even here in Hamilton, there is this craft group who meet at a bar weekly to knit and chat. No craft is excluded and as an ex-cross stitcher, I started contemplating a new piece.
I had previously heard of Subversive Cross Stitch in Bust magazine, so began my search there for some creative patterns.
Most of patterns include swear words in their sayings, as I've never been a graphic text person they don't really appeal. Anyway not sure if the charm would remain by the time I stitched it and then hung it in my laundry.
This brings me to what I would like to stitch- maybe a battle scene or a protest march, just to make it interesting and a little radical.
I've already bought some fabric for it but I'm not sure when the great masterpiece will be begun. I'll have to settle on an idea first, which could take a while.
