Fugle – yellow pin cushion – Ann Woelders (AW)
Fugle is a small yet distinctive pin cushion designed by Ann Woelders, where form, colour, and rhythm are brought together in a concentrated expression. The motif is constructed as a graphic all-over pattern, with stylised birds emerging through a composition of geometric fields and ornamental structures.
The birds are reduced to clear shapes that repeat and shift across the surface. Rounded bodies and small details provide recognisability without becoming naturalistic. The patchwork construction creates movement and balance, while the changing patterns add depth and variation.
The colour palette is warm and subdued. Yellow, ochre, and green tones dominate, giving the pin cushion a calm and friendly expression. Light contrasts unify the surface and highlight the silhouettes of the birds. The overall impression is harmonious and well suited for everyday use.
Danish Flower Thread contributes a lively yet controlled play of colour that supports the graphic forms. The structure of the thread adds a slight relief and clearly defined stitches. The 12B linen fabric from Haandarbejdets Fremme provides a firm and stable base that suits the small format well and ensures durability.
As a pin cushion, Fugle functions both practically and decoratively. Its compact size makes it ideal for the worktable, while the carefully composed motif adds an aesthetic lift. For retailers, the design is a fine addition to a range of small, functional embroideries with a clear identity and a modern graphic expression.
