Grafische Muster

Retro and modern at the same time – home accessories featuring a straightforward cross-stitch pattern. Inspired by the city: trendy designs in urban style. Transforming the old into the new: refreshing old embroideries with new stitching.

Simple, clear, and high-contrast patterns with an urban touch are the hallmark of Swedish designer Maria Snare Johnsson. Graphic embroidery patterns are her passion, and in this book, she demonstrates how to create attractive home accessories using simple cross-stitches. You don't have to be a professional to achieve this! The author gathers inspiration for patterns from everywhere. She stitches letters and numbers, creating surprising combinations. At markets or in second-hand shops, she finds old embroideries in traditional styles, which she transforms into modern, geometric shapes, creating beautiful contrasts between the old and the new.
