Hyben - jar cover - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

Rosehips are among those small nature motifs that immediately bring to mind late summer, thickets, wild roses and homemade jars in the kitchen. Rosehip - jar cover - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit with a simple and beautiful motif, where a red rosehip stands clearly among dark green leaves on the light linen background. The motif is small in size, but it has a fine botanical weight and a warm kitchen atmosphere, making it ideal for jam jars, marmalade, jelly or a personal gift.

A red rosehip with dark leaves

The motif shows a single red rosehip sitting among leaves and fine stems. The rosehip is embroidered in red and deeper reddish shades, giving the round fruit fullness and warmth. The clear red colour makes the motif feel alive and gives the jar cover a natural focal point.

Around the rosehip are dark green leaves, forming a dense and decorative frame. The leaves have a slightly strong expression, and the dark shades give the motif depth. They stand beautifully in contrast to the red fruit and the light linen background. Small brown and green details in the stems bring the motif together and give it a calm botanical form.

The round format makes the motif particularly well suited to a jar cover. When the finished cover is placed over a jar and tied in place, the rosehip becomes a small hand-embroidered decoration on top. This gives even a simple jar a carefully finished and personal expression.

A jar cover for kitchen, table and gifts

The finished jar cover measures Ø 18 cm. The size is well suited to smaller jars of jam, marmalade, jelly, chutney or other homemade treats. It is also lovely as decoration on a jar intended as a host gift, Christmas gift or a small greeting from the kitchen.

The rosehip motif has a natural connection to preserving and fruit. It therefore feels especially fitting on jars with homemade contents. The red rosehip adds warmth, while the dark leaves give a calm and classic expression. At the same time, the motif is simple enough to be used together with other jar covers, if you want a small series with fruit and berries.

This embroidery kit is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural expression. The linen gives the motif a classic textile background, where the small stitches and colour shifts stand out clearly.
