Cross 'N Patch
Cross 'N Patch was started 30 years ago as the brainchild of Emie Bishop. As a life-long stitcher and artist, Emie had always sketched and painted and also been involved in every form of needlework. While taking an art class these interests came together in her head. She began designing her own samplers--combining what she knew about art and how to create images with her love of fabric, texture and threads.
As Emie's understanding of stitches deepens, she has prepared detailed illustrations of each stitch, allowing her publications to be generously illustrated. For example, The Unfinished Sampler has 140 illustrated stitches as well as numerous images and charts.
