Mosaik - green needlebag - Edith Hansen (EH)

Small embroidery projects can still have a great effect. This needlebag is a fine example of how a simple format can contain plenty of colour, rhythm and graphic finesse. Mosaic - green needlebag - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit for those who love practical embroidery with a decorative expression. Here, the needlebag is not just a place to store needles. It becomes a small piece of needlework that you will want to keep close at hand together with scissors, fabric and thread.

A green mosaic pattern with small colour fields

The motif consists of a dense mosaic pattern, where small squares and rectangles create a lively, graphic surface. The green shades are the main colours of the motif. Here, you see dark forest green fields, muted olive green tones and lighter green areas, which together give the needlebag a calm and natural expression.

Between the green fields are small colour shifts in grey, brown, cream, pale blue and soft pink. The gentle contrasts make the pattern interesting without making it feel restless. The golden details sit like small bright stitches throughout the mosaic and give the motif a fine play of colour. They almost work as little glimmers between the more subdued shades.

The pattern has a clear repetition, but it does not feel mechanical. The different sizes of the fields create rhythm, and the eye can wander around the motif in the same way as when looking at small ceramic tiles or textile patches joined together into a whole. This gives the needlebag a modern and decorative expression with a classic handmade calm.

A small needle case for embroidery tools

The finished embroidery measures 11 x 8 cm and is perfect as a small needlebag. The format is practical, because it is easy to keep in a project bag, by the embroidery table or in the basket with current needlework projects. At the same time, the motif is so well composed that the needlebag also works as a small decorative object in itself.

The needlebag is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12N. The combination creates a fine and classic embroidery, where the small colour fields stand out clearly. Danish Flower Thread has a soft and natural colour expression, which suits the muted greens and earthy shades in the motif beautifully.

This is an embroidery kit that is ideal for those who want to make a useful project. The finished result can be used again and again, and for that very reason, the embroidery becomes part of the joy of needlework itself.

Haandarbejdets Fremme and Edith Hansen’s graphic eye

The needlebag is therefore a good choice for embroiderers who love green shades, small useful projects and embroidery with a calm, modern pattern.
