Preview night was very interesting with many x stitch comments flying about. Jamie however was totally confident with his talent and was having none of the stereotyping that is associated with x stitch. I however found it very interesting listing to both sides and my husband who came with me made for interesting talk over a meal where he gave a very valid argument on why he personally found x stitch interesting from a mans point of view. Sorry girls, you may find x stitch beneath you nowadays but I have it first hand from a man that it is an over looked and inspiring technique which needs to be explored further . Go Mr x stitch for comtempary x stitch.
