Rosenranke - bell pull - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

A rose tendril has its own rhythm. It grows upwards, winds gently from side to side and lets flowers, leaves and small details appear along the way. In this embroidery kit, the roses are gathered in a narrow and elegant bell pull format, where the motif is allowed to stretch upwards. Rose Tendril - bell pull - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a classic embroidery design with pink flowers, green leaves and fine blue details, which together create a romantic and harmonious expression.

A vertical rose tendril with flowers and leaves

The motif shows a long, upward-growing tendril with several pink roses distributed down the entire bell pull. The roses are embroidered in different pink shades, giving them both fullness and depth. Some flowers appear as open roses with clear spiral forms in the centre. Others are smaller buds or small flowers that give the motif variation and lightness.

The green leaves play an important role in the composition. They sit closely around the stems and create a natural movement from top to bottom. The leaves vary in shape and direction, so the tendril does not feel static. Some leaves stretch out from the centre, while others follow the vertical course of the stem. This gives the embroidery a fine balance between structure and organic growth.

Between the roses, there are small decorative blue details that resemble berries or small flower clusters. They add a cool contrast to the warm pink tones and make the motif more lively. Together with the brown stems and the many green leaves, the bell pull gains a botanical expression that is both classic and decorative.

A narrow embroidery kit with a classic hanging format

This embroidery kit is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The finished motif measures 12 x 75 cm and therefore has a long, narrow format. The format is particularly well suited to a bell pull, where the motif can hang vertically and create a calm textile focal point on the wall.

The bell pull can be used in many places in the home. It is beautiful in an entrance hall, by a door, in a bedroom or on a narrow wall space where an ordinary picture may feel too wide. The vertical form highlights the natural movement of the rose tendril and makes the embroidery easy to place in the interior.

Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural expression. The pink roses appear warm without becoming sharp, and the green leaves gain a muted depth. The linen also gives the motif the classic textile foundation that suits Gerda Bengtsson’s botanical designs beautifully.
