Fjollede Fugle - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)

"Fjollede Fugle" (Silly Birds) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit full of colour, humour and movement. The motif consists of a whole flock of imaginative birds, each with its own expression. Some stand upright, others turn, stretch their wings, walk forward or look as if they are in the middle of a small bird parade. This gives the cushion a lively and playful expression, with new details to discover again and again.

A cushion filled with colourful birds

The motif shows many different birds spread across the entire surface of the cushion. They are embroidered in clear colours such as blue, green, red, pink, purple, turquoise, orange and yellow. Each bird has its own colour combination, and the many variations make the motif both cheerful and decorative.

Some birds have long tails, others have broad wings, crests on their heads or striped and dotted patterns on their bodies. Several of them have small orange legs and beaks, which bring the motif together beautifully. The different directions and postures create movement in the embroidery, giving the cushion a light and almost dancing rhythm.

Although the motif is colourful, the birds stand out clearly on the light linen background. The light background creates air between the figures and allows each bird its own place. The result is a cushion with a joyful and lively expression, while still maintaining a good balance in the composition.

An embroidery kit with humour and graphic character

The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the structure of the motif well, with the birds distributed across the whole surface. The cushion can be used on a sofa, armchair, in a child’s room, summer house or any space where you want embroidery with colour and personality.

"Silly Birds" is a motif with humour. The birds are not depicted as realistic birds, but as free and imaginative figures, each with its own distinctive character. This gives the cushion a relaxed and creative expression that makes it easy to love. The motif is especially well suited to those who would like to embroider something colourful, different and full of life.

The cushion is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 7B. Linen 7B provides a clear structure, which suits the coloured surfaces and graphic bird forms well. Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and lively expression, so the many shades gain warmth without appearing harsh.
