Sommerfugle - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)

"Sommerfugle" (Butterflies) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a light and colourful motif. The cushion is filled with butterflies in blue, green, turquoise and purple shades. The motif has a calm nature-inspired atmosphere, but also a clear graphic rhythm. The many butterflies are spread across the light linen background and give the cushion a lively expression.

Butterflies in blue, green and purple tones

The motif shows several butterflies in different sizes. The largest butterfly is placed in the centre of the cushion. It has broad wings with dark outlines, blue fields, turquoise details and green colour shifts. The form gives the motif a strong focal point.

Around the large butterfly are smaller butterflies. Some have open wings, while others are seen from a slightly different angle. The varied placements make the motif feel alive. It feels as if the butterflies are floating in and out across the surface of the cushion.

The colours are cool and fresh. The dark blue outlines bring the motif together and give the butterflies a clear form. The lighter blue tones create depth in the wings. Green and turquoise details add a light play of colour, while purple shades bring softness and variation.

The small patterns in the wings are an important part of the expression. Here, there are stripes, dots, circles and fine markings. They give the embroidery many details to immerse yourself in. At the same time, the light background keeps the motif calm and airy.

A cushion with lightness and graphic balance

The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the structure of the motif well. The large butterfly in the centre creates calm. The smaller butterflies around it create movement.

The cushion suits a sofa, armchair, summer house or a bright room. It can be used as a colour detail in a calm interior. It also works beautifully with other cushions in blue, green or natural tones.

Butterflies is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the colours a soft and textile expression. The blue, green and purple shades gain depth without appearing harsh.

The embroidery is stitched on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The fabric provides a classic background with a fine structure. Here, both the dark outlines and the small colour shifts stand out clearly.
