Påskeæg – table runner – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
Easter Eggs is an atmospheric table runner designed by Gerda Bengtsson. The motif features decorative Easter eggs repeated in a calm and harmonious sequence along the runner. The expression is light and graphic, while still retaining the fine detail characteristic of Bengtsson’s embroidery.
The design draws on classic Easter traditions. The egg as a motif symbolises spring, renewal, and brighter days. Here it is interpreted in a simple visual language, where repetition creates rhythm and cohesion. The result is an elegant table runner that fits naturally into both modern and more traditional homes.
The embroidery is worked on Haandarbejdets Fremme Linen 10B, a Natural White linen with 10 threads per cm. The slightly coarser thread count produces a clear and lively stitch definition, supporting the graphic character of the pattern.
With its size of 22 × 70 cm, Easter Eggs is well suited for smaller tables, sideboards, or as a decorative runner on an Easter table. It can be used on its own or combined with other Easter decorations. The runner frames the table setting calmly without dominating it.
Easter Eggs is an excellent project for embroiderers who appreciate classic Danish embroidery with a timeless expression—a motif that can be brought out year after year and become a lasting part of Easter traditions.
