Julie Jackson

In 2003, Julie Jackson created Subversive Cross Stitch, a bedrock of the modern craft movement that pairs old-fashioned samplers with snarky sentiments. She has authored several books and a coloring book, created calendars with Rizzoli and collaborated on Subversive-branded products with Urban Outfitters, blueQ and Fred & Friends. Her kits, cards, and other gift items bearing Subversive designs can be found online and in retail stores worldwide. You can find the freshest kits, supplies, advice, and hundreds of PDF patterns on her site, subversivecrossstitch dot com.

Julie also created Kitty Wigs, an early contender in the online world of cat memes. Kitty Wigs has been featured in fashion layouts for Harper's Bazaar Japan and CosmoGirl; and on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 and BBC's Graham Norton. Her book "Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs", has been seen in People magazine, on Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, and even in the National Enquirer. The book is available in several languages and as a digital version.
