PyroDogPins is Emily Morris, who started cross stitching at a young age but ended up abandoning it for a while due to teenage distractions, university and then roller skates. She picked up a needle again in 2012 whilst in search of a present for a horror movie loving friend as in the absence of very specific Evil Dead cross stitch pattern she decided to create her own. From there she has created many patterns based around her love of cult movies, Twin Peaks and gothic writers.
