About me

Jo Barcas Buchan is a teacher and craftsperson from Scotland. Jo began cross-stitching as a teenager and completed commercial kits. Whilst she loved the process, she was never happy with the finished result. A couple of years ago, a non-stitching friend said he just couldn’t understand why Jo followed a pattern rather than stitching what she wanted. Jo has never looked back!
