Radical Cross Stitch

I am pleased to announce the newest addition to the Radical Cross Stitch family.

Coming all the way to us from Sweden, or maybe somewhere in Africa… everyone say a big hi to Johanna!

We all know and love Johanna from the mighty Cross Yr Stitches blog. The Ninja and I decided that since one is an obsession, two is a conspiracy and three is a gang, we really should expand the crew a bit. We are also working on secret handshakes and passwords.

Johanna makes super ace cross stitch, and we thought she was absolutely deserving of a place in the community. Here’s some of Johanna’s latest bits.

We are also planning a fundraiser to get Johanna a new camera so she can take super cool photos of her finished stuff!

And I’m working on a special place in the Gallery for all of Johanna’s stuff so you can be even more inspired!

I haven’t actually asked her to do this yet, so I’ll do so publicly (sorry lady!). I’d love it if you could make you first post a bit of an intro and tell us a bit about who you are, where you’re from and what got you into radical cross stitch.

I also want to take a moment to say a big thank you to all the people who read this site. It is such a fun project and great to know that we are just a small part of such a vibrant radical craft community. I especially want to thank those of you who have been supporting the other media projects; hoopla and the craft cartel. Just so you know the zine is almost complete and the podcast is being edited as we speak!

We have some big dreams and visions for this project so stay tuned, keep conscious and most of all keep crafting!
