In Stitches...

I've never been much for sewing, but I have to admit that I'm almost tempted to take-up a little cross-stitching myself after seeing so many rocking modern examples of what you can create and express with thread. I especially like to see how digital platforms are expressed through a needle in the physical world. Sewing used to conjure up nostalgic images of fireplaces and wool socks, but these artists have given sewing/cross-stitching a refreshed and modern cultural twist.
