Haandarbejdets Fremme Calendar 2016 presents The Year In Cross Stitch 2016, designed by Lisbeth Roum-M\u00f8ller. The calendar contains 12 cross stitch motifs inspired by the classic Flora Danica flowers.<\/p>\n
The designs are based on botanical references and translated into embroidery with a strong focus on form and colour. The flowers appear recognisable and detailed, while the overall expression remains calm and harmonious.<\/p>\n
The motifs are developed from traditional botanical plates, which have long been an important source of inspiration in embroidery. The calendar continues this tradition in a contemporary interpretation.<\/p>\n
Each motif can be embroidered as an individual project or combined into a cohesive series. This provides flexibility in how the designs are used, making them suitable for both small and larger embroidery projects.<\/p>\n
Cross stitch is the primary technique throughout, making the calendar suitable for both intermediate and experienced embroiderers. The motifs are accessible while still offering fine detail.<\/p>\n
The spiral binding makes the calendar practical to use, allowing the pages to lie flat while working. This makes it suitable as a working tool both in retail environments and at home.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme has worked since 1928 to develop and preserve the craft of embroidery. The organisation is known for its strong design traditions and high quality. The calendars are an important part of this work, presenting new interpretations of embroidery each year.<\/p>\n\n
