"Påske- og pinseliljer" (Daffodils and Narcissi) – wall piece – Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a classic floral embroidery featuring a full bouquet of spring flowers. Yellow daffodils and white narcissi are gathered into a loose bouquet, with the stems tied together with a simple string.

The motif is composed with a natural movement in stems and leaves. The flowers spread gently to the sides, forming a harmonious and balanced arrangement. The colour palette ranges from clear yellow tones to soft white petals and fresh green shades in the foliage.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread, which provides vibrant colour depth and a clear stitch structure. The many shades highlight the petals, trumpets and leaves, giving the motif depth and variation.

The design was created for Haandarbejdets Fremme and is embroidered on Linen 10B from Haandarbejdets Fremme. The fabric’s structure supports the detailed cross stitches and gives the embroidery a clear and classic expression.

Gerda Bengtsson is known for her botanical motifs, where the forms of plants are rendered with simplicity and precision. This embroidery functions as a decorative wall piece with a distinct springtime and nature-inspired character.
