On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about cross stitch with my guest Stephanie Rohr. Stephanie Rohr is a cross-stitch designer, artist, and author. She is known as StephXstitch in the craft world, after giving that name to her Etsy shop in 2010. Stephanie's work fits into the subversive cross-stitch movement, with a focus on traditional design elements paired with humor, pop-culture references, and feminist and political themes. Stephanie created cross-stitch designs for Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign merch in 2020. Her work has also appeared in TV ads for the Chicago Blackhawks, and on the Comedy Central show "Key & Peele". Stephanie herself appeared on the web series "Craft Room Crash", and was a speaker at Midwest Craft Con in February 2020. Her first book, Feminist Cross-Stitch, was published in 2019. In 2021, her book was infamously pulled from the shelves of Michael's, which led to an interview in the New York Times. Stephanie and her work have also been featured on the cover of the Chicago Reader, and in Craft Business Magazine, Cross-Stitcher Magazine, Cross-Stitch Crazy, and the front page of Reddit. Her latest book, Self-Care Cross-Stitch, was published in November 2022. +++++ This episode is sponsored by Kinship Handwork.

This episode is a brand new live talk that I did for the AAF chapter in Baton Rouge. If there’s a paved road to where you’d like to go, the connection has already been made and the opportunity for creativity is already gone. There’s always an excuse not to do the work you’re here to do, there’s always an obstacle, and in this episode I suppose that maybe that’s not such a bad thing? Had such a blast going down to the South for this talk, thanks Baton Rouge for having me! I will both be speaking at this year’s Midwest Craft Con, Feb 10-12.

118 - Finding Your Flow with Yao Cheng I recently had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with the wonderful Yao Cheng! Yao is a watercolor artist and designer based in Columbus, Ohio. While she has been painting and drawing since the age of 5, her introduction to watercolor really began a few years ago while exploring new painting techniques. With this medium, the connection was immediate and it has since defined her painting style and marked the beginning for Yao Cheng Design! We talk about starting your own business, Yao’s artistic breakthroughs and what it feels like when you’ve found your flow. Yao and I will both be speaking at this year’s Midwest Craft Con, Feb 10-12.
