Inspired by popular culture, Twisted Stitches brings a contemporary twist to cross stitch designs with wicked results. Stitch cards or pictures featuring sinister skulls or zombies. Decorate your home with towels bordered in barbed wire, jar covers crawling with bugs or a set of pillows that feature a fly meeting a comic book splat!" demise. Create cool accessories like a "game over" laptop cover or a "tweet this" phone case, or stitch a scarily realistic stab wound onto a tee shirt. Projects range from easy designs for newcomers to the craft to advanced projects that will appeal to experienced cross stitchers. The book includes a pocket on the back cover with full size fold-out charts of the larger designs."

About the Author
Phil Davison is a London based patterncutter, who after taking time off from the couture fashion world, learned to crossstitch in Arkansas, where an elderly family friend taught him the basics. On returning to London, Phil was inspired to combine his newfound love of cross-stitch with his existing love of street art, so created his own brand, Urban Cross Stitch.

Definately Different

Why is it that cross stitch patterns designed by men are always my preference? Maybe because there are no unicorns, puppies or other oh-so-precious (and boring) choices here. I usually have to buy individual patterns to get designs more to my taste. This book is great: definately different. If, like me, you're sick of the cookie-cutter designs usually available, you'll love this book. Lots of truely twisted designs to appeal to those of us with slightly sinister tastes. These designs are wonderfully warped and there is even a pocket at the back of the book containing large charts for viewing ease - a nice little plus. I look forward with eager anticipation to the next collection from this author. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

Loved this book! Charts are clear and concise and VERY imaginative. So glad that I found out there are other Twisted Stitchers out there! I'm an avid stitcher and certainly have a mean streak so this is right up my alley.
