Hindbær - jar cover - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

"Hindbær" (Raspberries) - jar cover - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an atmospheric embroidery design in cross stitch inspired by ripe summer raspberries and the cosy tradition of homemade jam, cordial and preserved berries. The motif features small red raspberries surrounded by green leaves and delicate details, giving the jar cover a classic and natural expression.

Gerda Bengtsson is known for her botanical and nature-inspired motifs, and this design is a beautiful example of her confident sense of colour, form and balance. The raspberries are rendered simply and elegantly with fine cross stitches that highlight both the texture of the berries and the dark green leaves. The red shades stand beautifully against the light linen background, creating a calm and harmonious overall impression.

The jar cover is perfect for jars of jam, preserves or homemade delicacies and adds a cosy and handmade character to the kitchen. It is also an ideal personal gift idea for anyone who appreciates needlework, preserving or classic Danish design. The embroidery brings warmth and nostalgia to the table setting and fits beautifully into both modern and traditional interiors.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 10B. The thread gives the cross stitches beautiful fullness and clear colours, while the linen adds texture and a classic expression. The combination of materials makes the motif both detailed and durable, creating an elegant finished result.

The round format enhances the light and decorative character of the motif. The delicate raspberry designs work beautifully on smaller surfaces and demonstrate how even small embroidery projects can create a strong sense of atmosphere and personality. The jar cover is therefore both practical and decorative and can be used throughout the year.
