cross-stitcher

X-pattern fabric artist

A cross-stitcher is someone who does cross-stitch, a form of embroidery using X-shaped stitches to create patterns or pictures on fabric.

The term describes both casual hobbyists and dedicated crafters: My grandmother was an avid cross-stitcher who made samplers for every grandchild.
