The Year In Cross Stitch 2012
Haandarbejdets Fremme Calendar 2012 presents The Year In Cross Stitch 2012, designed by Marianne Thornberg. The calendar contains 12 cross stitch motifs with flowers as the central theme.
The designs are based on decorative utility textiles and classical pattern traditions. The expression is defined by rhythm and repetition, where individual elements can be combined into larger compositions. This allows for both small and more extensive embroidery projects.
The motifs are constructed to function both individually and as repeat patterns. This makes them particularly suitable for textiles such as cushions, tablecloths and other functional pieces. The interaction between form and structure creates a calm and harmonious expression.
The embroidery is worked in cross stitch, resulting in a clear and even surface. The technique supports the graphic qualities of the patterns and makes it easy to work with repetition and variation.
The calendar also includes inspirational photographs showing the motifs used in finished projects. This provides concrete ideas for how the embroidery can be applied in everyday contexts.
The publication is multilingual, with text in Danish, English and German, making it suitable for both Danish and international embroidery enthusiasts.
