Not so lame cross stitch

I dislike cross stitch. I mean, what a lame ass, fake brand of textile art. There are exceptions, as always. Really tiny cross stitch done on a large scale scenic textile can be beautiful. But the ordinary, every day variety is, to me, one step above plastic canvas. And, wow, do I loathe that shit. I keep and cherish the cross stitch birth samplers and blankets-you -must-never-use from my grandmothers for my kids, and I use the tea towels from my step-dad's old battle ax of a mother and am glad to have them. But don't tell me it's an art or even much of a craft.
However. Subversive Cross Stitch is something I can get behind. Bring it on.
