The Year In Cross Stitch 1991
Girl on Skis – wall piece – Vibeke Olris (VO) is an atmospheric cross stitch embroidery inspired by peaceful winter landscapes and quiet moments in nature. The motif depicts a young girl skiing through the snow surrounded by dark bushes beneath a pale blue winter sky.
The embroidery has a simple and poetic expression. The dark bushes create contrast against the white snow and add depth to the motif, while the pale blue tones of the sky bring a cool and crisp winter atmosphere. The snow rests quietly across the landscape, reinforcing the calm mood of the design.
The young girl brings life and movement to the motif. She stands on skis at the top of the hill, perhaps ready to glide down through the snow. Her light hair and colourful skis create a warm focal point within the cool winter landscape. The motif evokes thoughts of fresh winter air, quiet snowy mornings and the joy of being outdoors in the snow.
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 10B. The matte finish of the thread creates soft colour transitions, while the linen fabric highlights the structure and delicate details of the cross stitches.
The embroidery works beautifully as a wall piece in homes inspired by nature, the changing seasons and Nordic landscapes. The square format makes it easy to display either on its own or together with other embroidery designs featuring winter motifs.
Vibeke Olris is known for her atmospheric designs focused on landscapes, light and small everyday stories. Her embroidery designs combine simplicity with warmth and a sense of intimacy.
