Stjerner – tablecloth – Edith Hansen (EH)

"Stjerner" (Stars) - tablecloth - Edith Hansen (EH) is a striking embroidery design in cross stitch with a clear graphic expression. The motif consists of a large star shape, built from smaller stars in different sizes. The form is repeated in a circular composition, giving the design a calm and harmonious structure.

Colour plays a central role in the expression. The warm red and orange tones contrast with lighter pink shades. This interplay creates both depth and movement. Each individual star stands out clearly, while still forming part of a cohesive whole.

The geometric composition gives the embroidery a modern character. At the same time, the motif draws on classical pattern traditions. This makes the design suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. The simple structure also makes the motif easy to read from a distance.

The embroidery is worked on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 10U using Danish Flower Thread. The materials provide an even and precise stitch definition. The clear colours of the thread enhance the graphic expression, while the linen adds a subtle texture that brings life to the surface.

As a tablecloth, the embroidery is both practical and decorative. The round shape makes it ideal for smaller tables. The motif brings the table setting together and adds colour to the room. It can be used throughout the year, but is especially well suited for festive occasions.

Stars are often associated with light and celebration, making this design particularly suitable for occasions such as Christmas or New Year. At the same time, the simplicity of the design allows it to be used in everyday settings as well.
