Tivoli - doily - Ida Winckler (IW) & Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

Tivoli - doily - Ida Winckler (IW) & Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit with a colourful Copenhagen motif. At the centre is a decorative Tivoli building with a blue facade, golden roof and fine details in green, red and light shades.

Around the motif, a green vine winds along the edge. The botanical frame gives the embroidery a lighter expression and creates a fine contrast to the detailed architecture in the centre.

The doily is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The finished embroidery measures 15 x 15 cm.

A colourful motif from Tivoli

At the centre of the doily is a building with a distinctive Tivoli character. The facade is embroidered in deep blue shades and features small windows, ornaments and decorative panels.

The roof is worked in golden and green tones. The curved details and small spires give the building a slightly exotic and fairy-tale expression that suits Tivoli’s distinctive blend of architecture, imagination and amusement park history.

At the entrance is a large decorative section in green, pink and golden shades. The many small colour changes make the building interesting to examine more closely and give the motif an almost miniature-like character.

Beneath the building is the text TIVOLI. The simple lettering clearly anchors the motif in Copenhagen and provides a calm finish beneath the detailed facade.

A botanical vine around Tivoli

Around the central motif runs a vine with green leaves and small golden details. The vine is open at the top, preventing it from becoming a heavy frame around the building.

The leaves vary between light and darker green tones. This adds life and depth while allowing the botanical frame to retain a calm expression.

The small golden elements hang between the leaves and repeat the colours of the building’s roof. In this way, the outer vine and the Tivoli motif are brought together into one complete composition.

It is precisely the contrast between architecture and botanical ornament that makes the design distinctive. The building is colourful and detailed, while the vine adds lightness and rhythm.

A little piece of Copenhagen for the table

The finished doily measures 15 x 15 cm. The compact format makes it suitable as a decorative detail on a table, tray or small chest of drawers.

Tivoli - doily is particularly well suited to those who love Copenhagen, Danish landmarks or embroideries with architectural motifs.

It can also make a personal gift for someone with fond memories of Tivoli. The small format makes the motif manageable, while the many details give the embroidery plenty of character.

Danish Flower Thread on linen 12B

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the blue, green, red and golden shades a soft and classic expression.

The fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The fine structure suits the motif’s small windows, ornaments, leaves and colour changes well.

The light linen background allows the many colours to stand out clearly. At the same time, it creates space around both the building and the decorative vine.

Ida Winckler, Gerda Bengtsson and Haandarbejdets Fremme

In this motif, Ida Winckler’s sense of narrative and architectural designs meets Gerda Bengtsson’s distinctive botanical style. The result is an embroidery where Tivoli’s colourful world is surrounded by a lively green vine.

Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits with fine materials and motifs connected to Danish culture, nature and needlework tradition.
