Cross Stitch Patterns of Morra Marran
Dear friends!
I am glad to welcome you to my creative corner. I am the founder of the cross-stitch project Morra Marran. The first public steps were taken on September 13, 2015. From this date, I have been reporting on my professional activity as a cross-stitch designer.
Few people will remember, but initially, this project was simply called Morra. In 2018, another designer joined my project. We accidentally found out that in Finnish, the name Morra is written as Mårran. So, we changed the name of the brand, hinting that there are now two of us.
Why Morra? In this name, the Slavic Morana, the Moirai of Greece, and the depths of Moria from Tolkien, merged for us. In our native Ukrainian language, the word for "sea" has a similar root. There is so much in this name for us that we can talk a lot about it and still say nothing.
In 2019, Charlotte Badger joined our team. She is responsible for the beautiful selection of color palettes in our designs, creates charts supporting charity, and brings warmth and coziness to all our workflows.
To date, the number of designs created by my team has exceeded 600. However, about half of them are currently available on the website. We have decided on a new format and digital packaging for our patterns, and we are gradually updating everything.
I hope that our work will resonate with you.
We greatly enjoy creative collaborations, so in addition to teamwork within our group, we have had numerous joint projects with various designers and artists. We always make sure to credit their names in the pattern descriptions.
Our creative journey began with designs in modern cross-stitching techniques. These designs are rich in various types of stitches and often include a lot of backstitching. Such patterns may require more attention and concentration from you. The finished work will surprise and delight your friends.
A bit later, we decided to try our hand at Primitives and Samplers. These designs, often inspired by modern themes, are rooted in old traditions. They use the simplest possible images. Additionally, most elements of such designs invite you to bring your own vision, for example, by changing the palette.
The Free Design section is an invitation to get acquainted with the features of our work and help you understand how comfortable you are with our style.
