The Year In Cross Stitch 1988
"Året rundt med blomster" (Flowers All Year Round) - wall piece - Edith Hansen (EH) is a detailed embroidery design in cross stitch, where the diversity of nature unfolds in a dense and lively motif. Here, the delicate blooms of spring, the vibrant colours of summer and the richness of late summer are brought together in one unified composition.
The motif is structured like a lush flower meadow. The individual flowers are closely arranged and vary in both shape and colour. Yellow, red, blue and pink shades interact with green stems and leaves, creating a natural rhythm and a sense of movement across the embroidery.
The flowers are simplified in their expression, yet still recognisable. They are placed at different heights and directions, adding life and variation to the design. A green border frames the composition and provides a calm finish.
As an embroidery project, this motif is both decorative and engaging. It offers the opportunity to work with many colours and achieve a nuanced result, while also celebrating the changing seasons and the recurring cycle of nature.
This embroidery kit was originally released as part of The Year In Cross Stitch 1988, placing the design within a strong tradition where classic embroidery continues to inspire today.
The embroidery is stitched on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 10B using Danish Flower Thread. This combination provides clear stitches and a refined texture that supports the many fine details in the motif.
The finished wall piece is well suited for display in the home, where it brings colour and life. It can stand alone or be combined with other botanical embroidery designs.
About Haandarbejdets Fremme
Haandarbejdets Fremme has a strong tradition of botanical embroidery designs, where the flowers and plants of the year take centre stage. The The Year In Cross Stitch series is a clear example of this.
A distinctive feature of The Year In Cross Stitch 1988 is that the motifs could function both individually and as a collective narrative of the year. Flowers All Year Round brings this idea together in a single wall piece.
