A stitched hex from the shadows of The X-Files.
Inspired by the chilling Season 7 episode "Theef," this cross stitch pattern conjures a hoodoo-style poppet doll clutching the word "theef"—a nod to the episode's eerie blend of folk magic and revenge. The design evokes the handmade menace of the poppet used in the show, rendered in reds, blacks, and purples, with white highlights that shimmer like spell residue around the stitched lettering.
