Cheryl is a cross stitch designer from Canada. It was her grandmother and mother who stitched traditional needlepoint, petit point, and cross stitch, and their work first motivated her to begin practicing Cross Stitch. In her designs, she keeps the traditions alive whilst employing bright colour palettes, bold graphics, and uses retro themes to illustrate her love of vintage style. Cheryl showcases and sells her cross stitch patterns on her website the Tiny Modernist, where she shares tips and other useful cross stitch knowledge. Cheryl also has an amazing Instagram page where you can find all her latest designs and plenty of cross stitch inspiration.
