Church - wall hanging - Ida Winckler (IW)

Church - wall hanging - Ida Winckler (IW) is an embroidery kit with a small winter motif. A light-coloured church with a red roof stands at the centre of the landscape, surrounded by dark fir trees and delicate branches.
Several golden stars appear above the church, adding warmth and a quiet sense of solemnity to the motif. The combination of winter landscape, church and starry sky gives the wall hanging a calm and classic expression.
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The finished wall hanging measures 12 x 9 cm.

A small church among the fir trees

At the centre of the motif, the church forms the natural focal point. The building is embroidered in light shades with a warm red roof and a distinctive red steeple.
The simple form makes the church easy to recognise, even in the small format. The light walls stand out clearly against the dark trees around it and give the motif a well-balanced composition.
In front of and beside the church are several fir trees. They vary in size and density, creating depth in the motif. Some appear dark and compact, while others are lighter in form and suggest snow or frost on the branches.

Golden stars above the winter landscape

At the top of the motif, several golden stars are positioned above the church. They vary in size and are scattered across the light background.
The stars add warmth and create a fine contrast to the dark green and brown winter tones. They may bring to mind a clear winter night and emphasise the motif’s quiet and solemn atmosphere.
The largest star is positioned centrally above the church and becomes a natural focal point. The smaller stars around it create rhythm and space in the upper part of the motif.

A small wall hanging with winter calm

The finished wall hanging measures 12 x 9 cm. The small format makes it suitable for a narrow wall, a gallery wall or as part of a collection of other small embroideries.
The motif can also be used as seasonal decoration during winter and Christmas. The church, fir trees and stars create a clear winter atmosphere, while the overall expression remains subdued and classic.
It is a motif with only a few elements, but a clear story. The church stands peacefully among the trees while the stars shine above the landscape.

Danish Flower Thread on linen 10B

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the red, green, brown and golden shades a soft and natural expression.
The fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The light linen background helps highlight the church, trees and stars.
