Skovens dyr - Advent calendar - Marianne Thornberg (MT)

"Skovens dyr" (Forest Animals) - Advent calendar - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a simple and atmospheric Christmas motif. The calendar shows a long red forest scene on natural-coloured linen. Here, the fir trees stand closely together, while the animals of the forest move among trunks, branches and small wintry dots. The motif has a calm expression, but there are still many small details to explore.

A red winter forest with animals

The motif is built up as a wide forest edge. The red fir trees form a continuous background. Some trees are tall and pointed. Others are lower and more open in form. This gives the forest rhythm and life.

Between the trees are several animals. There are deer, hares, birds, a squirrel and small woodland animals. Some animals stand still. Others appear to be leaping or running through the forest. The small figures give the motif a fine story about life in the winter forest.

Above the forest are small red dots. They may bring to mind snow, stars or light frost in the air. They give the Advent calendar a clear December atmosphere. At the same time, the red colour keeps the whole motif cohesive and calm.

A larger Advent calendar on 7U linen

This version of Forest Animals is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 7U. The finished embroidery measures 88 x 37 cm. The format is long and low, which suits the wide forest scene well.

At the bottom, the numbers from 1 to 24 are embroidered in red. Beneath the numbers are small hanging rings. They make the calendar well suited as a gift calendar. Here, small presents, notes or cosy December surprises can be attached.

The natural-coloured linen background gives the calendar a warm and classic expression. The red forest stands out clearly, but the motif does not feel heavy. This makes the Advent calendar easy to use in both simple and traditional Christmas decoration.

Forest Animals can hang in the living room, entrance hall, kitchen or child’s room. The wide format also suits a space above a chest of drawers, a bench or a narrow wall. The calendar can be brought out year after year and become a fixed part of December.

Haandarbejdets Fremme and Marianne Thornberg’s Christmas motif

Forest Animals is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the red colour a soft and textile expression. This suits the simple structure of the motif and its many small figures well.

The embroidery is stitched on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 7U. The structure of the fabric gives the calendar a clear handmade character. At the same time, the natural-coloured background emphasises the Nordic Christmas atmosphere.

Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits with fine materials and carefully considered motifs. Here, you get an Advent calendar where motif, fabric and thread form a simple whole.

Marianne Thornberg has created a Christmas motif with calm, nature and recognisable animals. The fir trees, deer, hares, birds and small snow dots give the calendar a quiet forest atmosphere. It is an embroidery kit for those who want a classic gift calendar with a nature motif and Haandarbejdets Fremme quality.
