The Year In Cross Stitch 2017

December 2027 - table runner - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit with a calm and atmospheric winter motif. The embroidery itself is called Blue Mosaic. The motif shows a window that you almost seem to be looking into. Here, blue mosaic fields, golden details, white doves, bare branches and a quiet December atmosphere meet.

Blue Mosaic with window, reflection and winter calm

The motif is built around an arched window. The window is embroidered in blue and violet shades. The fields may bring to mind mosaic, glass and reflections in a wintry window.

In the centre of the window is a golden star. It can be experienced as a reflection in the window glass. The warm golden colour creates light in the motif and brings the embroidery to life.

In the mosaic of the window are two light figures, which can be interpreted as people. This gives the motif a quiet story. It feels as though you are looking in towards a room where the light is on.

Outside are bare branches. On the branches sit two white birds, which may bring to mind doves of peace. They can be interpreted as a sign that Christmas peace has settled. Further up, there are also two doves that appear to be sitting on the window.

Mosaic-like fields and golden details

Around the window are fine mosaic-like fields. They may resemble a stone structure in the wall. Perhaps they bring to mind a church, an old building or a quiet place filled with history.

The graphic lines give the motif structure. They create a frame around the window without making the embroidery feel heavy. At the same time, the small details offer something new to discover when you look more closely at the motif.

The colours are subdued, yet lively. The blue fields create a cool winter atmosphere. The white doves and light figures add calm. The brown branches bring nature and movement.

The golden colour plays an important role in the motif. It appears as small warm glimmers in the embroidery. This creates a fine contrast to the blue and white tones.

A narrow table runner for December and winter

The finished table runner measures 25 x 92 cm. The format makes it suitable for a dining table, side table or chest of drawers. It can also be used as a calm winter element in a simple Christmas display.

The December motif suits Christmas well, but can also be displayed throughout winter. It has a clear sense of December. At the same time, the expression is poetic and subdued.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the colours a soft and lively expression. The blue, white, brown and golden shades gain beautiful textile depth.

The table runner is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The fabric has a classic structure that suits the details of the motif well. Here, the window, mosaic fields, branches, doves and reflections all stand out clearly.
