Description
Pair snarky modern comedy with vintage cross stitch flair! Inspired by Bo Burnham’s witty lyricism, this subversive cross stitch pattern surrounds bold, clear lettering with delicate mid-century retro starburst accents. With a grid size under 85×85, it’s a quick, satisfying weekend project that requires only 3 thread colors. It looks fantastic framed in a round hoop on white fabric, or switch to black Aida and stitch the text in pastel floss for a high-contrast pop!
