Cross Stitch of the Year 91

"Girl in a Meadow" is an atmospheric wall piece in which Vibeke Olris works with calm, light, and simple storytelling. The motif shows a girl placed in the middle of a gently undulating meadow. She stands still, surrounded by an open, summery landscape.

The composition is built in clear layers. The foreground is dominated by tall, light grasses. The middle ground gathers the focus around the girl, while the background is completed by darker trees and a light, open sky. This structure creates depth without heaviness, and the overall impression is calm and well balanced.

The colour palette is light and natural. Yellow and green tones define the meadow, while the darker green trees provide counterbalance. The blue dress forms a quiet focal point. Danish Flower Thread offers soft transitions and a matte surface. The linen from Haandarbejdets Fremme supports the light, natural expression.

As a wall piece, the design works as a calm focal point in a room. It fits well in both private homes and more open environments, bringing light and a sense of summer. The format makes it easy to place on its own or alongside other works.

For retailers, Girl in a Meadow is a narrative design with broad appeal. As part of Cross Stitch of the Year 91, it holds particular historical significance. It represents Haandarbejdets Fremme’s tradition of mood-filled embroidery with high quality and clear visual communication.
