Mr X Stitch is the place to keep your crafty finger on the pulse of all that is great in the world of embroidery and cross-stitch. Where did the site come from and why? Only Mr X Stitch himself can tell you. Lucky for us Joetta Maue decided it was about time they asked.
Joetta, who writes regularly for the Mr X Stitch site decided it was about time the site's founder, Jamie Chalmers and his stitching genius, was put under the spotlight. Her interview, Future Heirlooms: the man himself, does just that.
From learning to embroider through stitching a small piece of the Bayeux Tapestry at school to subversive stitching and what it's like to be a 'male needle lover' Jamie's story is all kinds of fascinating. His crusade for cross stitch and embroidery rather than simply showcasing his own work is inspiring stuff too.
It is certainly very clear why Mr X Stitch is 'number one contemporary embroidery and needlecraft blog on the planet'.
Mr X Stitch, we salute you. Long may you stitch.
