In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in needlework. What was once associated with your grandmother’s house is now making its way into contemporary homes. Cross stitch, one of the oldest forms of needlework, was once thought to be exclusively for alphabet samplers or decorative doilies. However, we did meet some hilarious embroiderers who take inspiration from pop culture, resulting in some completely modern pieces that might make grandma blush.
Whether it’s inspired by memes, TV, or politics, there’s something about an elegant craft juxtaposed with sassy phrases that make us smile. Best of all, most have patterns available for download, meaning you can don your stitch and show off your sense of humor at the same time.
It’s not your grandmother’s embroidery. Scroll down for a fun cross stitch that will make you laugh, then sew a few yourself!
