Rønnebær - jar cover - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

Small jars of jam, jelly or homemade berries can gain a very special expression when finished with embroidery. Here, the jar cover is not only a practical detail, but part of the presentation. Rowan Berries - jar cover - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit with a fine berry motif, where the red rowan berries stand beautifully together with green leaves and dark branches. The motif has a classic botanical calm, which is perfect for homemade jars in the kitchen.

Red rowan berries with leaves and branches

The motif shows a small branch with rowan berries. The red berries are gathered in a dense cluster, forming the clear point of colour in the motif. The colour is held in warm red and red-orange tones, which give the berries life and make them stand out clearly on the light linen background.

Behind the berries are green leaves in several shades. The leaves are placed around the branch, creating balance in the round motif. The darker green colours give depth, while lighter areas make the leaves feel more alive. The dark branch runs through the motif and brings leaves and berries together in a natural composition.

The motif is small, but still has many fine details. The rowan berries add warmth, the leaves bring botanical freshness, and the dark branches create a clear form. This makes the jar cover well suited to jars with homemade marmalade, jelly, chutney or berry preserves.

An embroidered jar cover for the kitchen and gift jars

The jar cover measures Ø 18 cm and is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The round format sits beautifully on top of a jar, where the embroidery becomes a small decorative cover. When the fabric is tied around the jar, it gains a handmade and carefully finished expression.

The finished embroidery can be used in your own kitchen or as an extra fine detail on a homemade gift. A jar of berries, marmalade or jelly immediately gains more personality when finished with an embroidered jar cover. The motif is particularly well suited to autumn, harvest time and Christmas gifts, but can of course be used all year round.

Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural expression. It suits the rowan berry motif beautifully, because the red berries gain warmth without appearing harsh, while the green leaves retain a calm, classic character.
