Haandarbejdets Fremme (HF) – Calendar 2022
The Year In Cross Stitch 2022
Haandarbejdets Fremme Calendar 2022 presents The Year In Cross Stitch 2022, designed by Pia Matthiessen. The calendar contains 12 cross stitch motifs, where flowers, nature and organic forms form the basis of a rich and detailed embroidery.
The motifs are inspired by Pia Matthiessen’s work with watercolour, where colours and shapes are translated into embroidery with great precision. The floral elements appear lively and nuanced, combining dense colour areas with fine details that create depth and movement. Small insects appear in several of the designs, adding a light and natural dynamism.
Haandarbejdets Fremme (HF) – Calendar 2022 reflects a clear joy in working with colour and natural forms. Each motif is composed with attention to rhythm and balance, where the structure of cross stitch supports the organic expression. The result is an embroidery style where classical technique meets a more free and painterly approach.
The 12 motifs can be embroidered individually as standalone projects or combined into a cohesive series. The cross stitch technique makes the calendar suitable for both intermediate and experienced embroiderers seeking variation and inspiration.
The spiral binding makes the calendar practical to use, allowing it to lie flat while working. It functions well both as a working tool and as a source of inspiration in retail settings and at home.
