Kirsebær - jar cover - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

Small details can make a jar of jam, cherry sauce or homemade marmalade much more personal. With this embroidery kit, you get a fine jar cover with a cherry motif, where two red cherries hang lightly from their stems beneath dark green leaves. Cherries - jar cover - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a small piece of embroidery with classic botanical charm and a simple motif that suits kitchen jars, homemade gifts and cosy table settings beautifully.

A cherry motif with red berries and green leaves

The motif shows two red cherries hanging side by side from fine pale stems. The cherries are embroidered in deep red and darker berry-coloured shades, giving them fullness and a ripe expression. The small light details on the cherries bring life to the motif and make the berries stand out clearly on the light linen background.

Above the cherries are several green leaves. They are broad, dark and calm in form, creating a natural frame around the berries. The leaves give the motif botanical weight, while the pale stems create a fine vertical movement down towards the red cherries. Together, the motif becomes simple, clear and very recognisable.

The round format makes the embroidery particularly well suited as a jar cover. When the fabric is placed over a jar and tied in place, the cherry motif becomes a small decorative focal point on top. This gives the jar a handmade and carefully finished expression.

A jar cover for small kitchen jars

The finished jar cover measures Ø 18 cm and is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The size is well suited to smaller jars of marmalade, jelly, cherry preserves, dessert accompaniments or other homemade treats. It can also be used as a fine detail on host gifts, Christmas gifts or small jars for the table.

The cherry motif has a classic kitchen atmosphere, but the expression is not heavy. The light linen background gives air around the berries, and the red and green colours make the embroidery both fresh and warm. It is a manageable project, where the finished result has a practical function and can be used again and again.

Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural expression. It is particularly well suited to fruit and berry motifs, where the colours should be clear, while still retaining a calm textile character.
