Mølleblomst - cushion - Edith Hansen (EH)

"Mølleblomst" (Mill Flower) - cushion - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery design in cross stitch with a clear and graphic expression. The motif consists of repeated floral forms that create a harmonious pattern across the cushion.

The stylised flowers are built from circular shapes with distinct central points. They are accompanied by simple leaves that add rhythm and variation. The interplay between the forms creates a lively yet balanced overall impression.

The choice of blue tones gives the motif a calm and classic character. Subtle variations in shade add depth without disrupting the structured expression. The result is both decorative and timeless.

The pattern is arranged in a repeated grid, providing a clear structure. This makes the embroidery especially suitable for a cushion, where repetition supports the format. At the same time, it adds a modern graphic quality.

The embroidery is stitched in cross stitch on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 10B using Danish Flower Thread. The materials create a refined balance between structure and softness, with clear and even stitches.

The cushion size of 30 x 33 cm makes it ideal as a decorative detail on a sofa or armchair. It can stand alone or be combined with other textiles. The simple expression makes it easy to integrate into different interiors.

The design balances between classic and modern aesthetics, making it suitable for both traditional and contemporary homes. At the same time, it highlights the graphic potential of embroidery.
