Stitch Graffiti: Unexpected Cross-Stitch (Unexpected Cross Stitch) by Heather Holland-Daly published by Interweave Press (April 1, 2008).
Get brave with your cross-stitch, was a quote from one review I read of this book. And that really summed it up for me too. This book really allows you to get a little braver and try some new designs, have some fun, get inspired and go beyond cute sampler patterns.
This book doesn’t go all out however – its no Subversive Cross Stitch but it does have some interesting ideas. motifs, tattoo designs and slogans, some fun patches and colourful designs.
There are instructions for beginners at the front and a stitch dictionary at the back, but otherwise more advanced stitchers are well catered for.

The whipup 2009 calendar features 13 artists/makers/designers whose work has been featured on whipup. This year I hand picked the participants but next year I hope to open it up for everyone. Over 13 days I will be featuring each of the participants – so you can get to know them (if you don’t already) a little better.
December featured artist is Jared Flood: www.brooklyntweed.net. Jared is a knitwear designer and photographer based in New York.
