One can only hope that Subversive Cross Stitch has gotten the ball rolling for a crafty revival (even though their stuff is mostly just traditional samplers with nuaghty phrases). Martha Stewart Living did a piece on modern cross stitch designs a while back - some neat ideas. (worth googling anyway) I used to cross stitch as a kid, but haven't really felt the need for tea towels with teddy bears and kittens on them as an adult. I'm with you - it would be cool if this could make a come back. Great box.
