In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Emma McKee.

Emma McKee is a Chicago-based cross stitch artist whose work is adored by hip-hop artists and basketball icons.

This is the first part of our NeedleXChange and we talk about how Emma came into cross stitch and the circumstances in which her work came to the attention of the hip-hop community. I love chatting with Emma and this conversation flows in all kinds of directions. Tune in next week for the second part of our XChange and if you enjoyed the show, share it with a friend!
