GERA! Kyoko Maruoka: Matryoshka Needlework set Cross Stitch Chart

1 Artikel verblieben

Experience the whimsical "jiffy" of Japanese design with the Matryoshka Needlework Set.

Designer Kyoko Maruoka has created a brilliant "statement piece" that explores the relationship between stitch count and physical scale. Instead of different patterns, this chart provides one masterful design intended to be stitched on a variety of fabric counts from your "stash." As the fabric count increases, your dolls become "bitesize," allowing them to conceptually or physically nest within one another. 

This is a chart-only artisanal project, offering a truly high-definition exploration of cross-stitch technique. It is a "practically perfect" project for those who enjoy the "stay toasty" rhythm of folk-art patterns but want a unique, three-dimensional finishing challenge. Whether you display them as a traditional set of dolls or turn them into a "boutique" series of decorative pillows, this Gera! design is an heirloom in the making. 


Why the Gera! Matryoshka Set is a Maker's Must-Have

  • Genius Japanese Engineering: A unique concept that uses fabric count to create physical scale, a hallmark of Kyoko Maruoka’s creativity. 

  • Whimsical Folk Art: Features charming, vibrant details that bring the classic Russian doll into a modern "Zakka" context. 

  • Stash-Friendly Project: An excellent way to use up various cuts of Aida and Linen in different counts from your collection. 

  • Educational & Fun: A fantastic way to visualize how fabric count affects the final size of a "bitesize" project.
