Haandarbejdets Fremme Calendar 2019 presents The Year In Cross Stitch 2019, designed by Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen. The calendar contains 12 cross stitch motifs inspired by the artist\u2019s work with paper cutting and a playful interpretation of natural forms.<\/p>\n
The motifs are based on folded and cut paper silhouettes, translated into embroidery with a clear and distinctive expression. The shapes appear both graphic and organic. Flowers, insects and masks merge to create a whimsical and imaginative universe.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is developed with a focus on detail and variation. Cross stitch is used to highlight both fine lines and more solid areas. Each motif carries a playful quality, where small elements can be combined in new ways, allowing for creative flexibility.<\/p>\n
The 12 designs function as individual embroidery projects but can also be seen as a cohesive series with a shared visual language. The calendar offers both immersion and variation in embroidery work.<\/p>\n
The spiral binding makes the calendar practical to use, allowing the pages to lie flat during work. 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 collaborations with artists. The calendars are an integral part of this tradition, presenting new interpretations of embroidery each year with a focus on quality and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n
