Efterår - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)
Autumn is full of small treasures from the forest floor. Leaves change colour, acorns fall, mushrooms appear, and animals move among branches, berries and withered leaves. Autumn - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit that gathers exactly this atmosphere in a warm and playful cushion motif. Here, autumn is shown as a colourful collection of animals, leaves and nature details on a light linen background.
A motif with woodland animals and autumn leaves
The motif is spread across the entire surface of the cushion like a decorative autumn collage. Here, you will find, among other things, a red squirrel with a bushy tail, bears in warm brown and reddish shades, a small owl, a snail, mushrooms and several small finds from nature. The animals are not placed in an actual landscape scene, but among leaves, branches, berries and acorns, giving the cushion a light and lively expression.
The many leaves are an important part of the motif. There are large maple-like leaves, narrow golden leaves, red leaves, green-brown leaves and fine fern-like forms. The colours range from yellow, orange and red to brown, olive and darker green tones. This gives the embroidery a clear sense of autumn, where nature is warm, subdued and full of contrasts.
Small details such as acorns, mushrooms, berries and the snail make the motif especially cosy. They give the cushion a narrative character that suits a child’s room, living room or summer house. The motif feels friendly and imaginative, while still having a clear connection to nature.
A cushion with warm colours and graphic rhythm
The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format gives plenty of room for the many small elements, which are evenly distributed across the surface. The light linen background creates air between the motifs, so each animal, leaf and natural detail has its own place.
Autumn - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The linen provides a classic and light background, while Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural textile expression. The warm orange, red and brown tones gain depth, and the green details add balance to the whole.
The cushion has a cheerful and decorative character, while the colours remain subdued enough for it to fit into a cosy interior. It is ideal as a seasonal cushion on the sofa, in an armchair, in a child’s room or in any space where you want embroidery with autumn atmosphere and personality.
