Stamtræ – wall piece – Edith Hansen (EH)
"Stamtræ" (Family Tree) is a personal and symbolic embroidery design that tells a family’s story through form and structure. The motif is built as a classic tree with a strong trunk and many slender branches spreading upwards and outwards.
The branches are adorned with leaves in calm green tones. Each leaf represents a family member and provides space for adding names and dates directly in the embroidery, making the piece unique and deeply personal. The family tree functions both as decoration and as a lasting keepsake.
The composition is balanced and easy to read. The trunk gives weight and stability, while the branches create rhythm and movement. The light linen ground provides space around the motif and emphasises its calm expression.
The embroidery is worked in Danish Flower Thread, which produces clear stitches and fine colour transitions. The thread is well suited for both text and filled areas, which is essential in a design that includes names and dates. Linen 12B ensures a classic and well-defined stitch appearance.
Family Tree – Wall Piece – Edith Hansen (EH) is well suited as a gift for weddings, anniversaries, or milestone birthdays. The finished embroidery becomes a decorative wall piece with strong emotional value and lasting durability.
