In this episode of Notes from Chicago, Emma McKee, the artist known as the StitchGawd, shares how she accidentally built a career in cross-stitching and what it felt like to watch WNBA legends try on her work on live national television. She also opens up about why she said no to Amazon and the NFL, the nine-foot Chairman Fred Hampton memorial she stitched on blue velvet, and the community map of Chicago she's building with the Chicago Public Library.
