Welcome to Issue 12 of XStitch Magazine: Noir! This issue is a tale of murder and mystery featuring fifteen designs that are inspired by the Noir genre.
We like to keep things eclectic, so we have a great mix of styles including some nostalgic notes from Floss & Mischief and Kate Blandford. But as you can tell, our old school flavours are still spicier than the average!
SmartCrossStitch – Setting The Scene 
Peacock & Fig – The Face That Cares 
Kate Blandford – Into The Void 
Floss & Mischief – Obey My Cat
We welcome PXLCRS to the XStitch family – he’s a pixel artist with a penchant for making magnificent motor vehicles, and for our Noir issue he’s created a classic Corvette! And with this theme, some of your favourite designers really unleashed their dark sides – you’ll love it!
PXLCRS – Corvette 
Tom Katsumi – Mystery Wall 
Tiny Modernist – Moth 
Marina Bolmini – Black Dahlia
We’ve got an amazing artist profile of Rita Sada and, in what might be a first for a cross stitch magazine, we’ve got a ten page crime comic! There are so many good things in this issue, and we’d love to show them here, but I’m afraid you’ll just have to buy the issue and unravel the mystery yourself!
Leah Emery – What The Fan Saw 
PyroDogPins – Hard Boiled 
Maria Diaz – Femme Fatale 
Fiddlesticks AU – The End
