Nothing says class like a little cross stitch at home.
The triumphant return of macrame, knitting, embroidery and cross stitch to the mainstream has been very well documented, but subversive cross stitch is a genre in its own right – and the feminist variety is particularly powerful.
It’s hard to deny that one of these beauties wouldn’t be the finishing touch in a powerful woman’s living room.
