If you see people making/selling cross-stitch portraits, it’s likely they got the idea from Stitch People! Born in Michigan, and raised in New York and Utah, Elizabeth now lives in an RV with her husband, Spencer, and their three dogs. When she’s not designing cross-stitch patterns, Elizabeth can be found pursuing a career in acting and comedy.
