Tulipan - wall hanging - Edith Hansen (EH)

Cross-Stitch of the Year - May 1988

"Tulipan" (Tulip) - wall hanging - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit with a light and classic spring motif. The embroidery shows a dense row of yellow tulips at the bottom of the motif. At the top is a fine branch with small green shoots and blue birds.

The motif is from Cross-Stitch of the Year - May 1988. This gives the wall hanging a special connection to Haandarbejdets Fremme’s calendar tradition, where the months of the year were transformed into embroidered motifs.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The finished wall hanging measures 30 x 30 cm.

A spring motif with yellow tulips

The motif is divided into two sections. At the bottom, the yellow tulips stand closely together. They form a flowering base with green leaves and stems.

The tulips are embroidered in yellow and golden shades. Some flowers stand upright and open. Others are smaller and sit more closely among the leaves. This gives the motif rhythm and life.

The green leaves create fullness around the flowers. They also give a fresh contrast to the warm yellow colours. The lower part of the motif therefore has a clear and spring-like expression.

A branch with birds and new shoots

At the top of the motif, a fine branch stretches across the surface. The branch has small green shoots, giving the embroidery a light sense of new growth.

Small blue birds sit on the branch. They add a poetic detail to the motif and bring life to the upper part of the embroidery. The birds stand out beautifully against the light background and the green branches.

Together, the tulips, birds and branch create a motif with a clear spring atmosphere. It is a simple motif, but there are many small details to look at more closely.

From Cross-Stitch of the Year - May 1988

The wall hanging comes from Cross-Stitch of the Year - May 1988. The May motif suits the tulip beautifully, as tulips are often associated with the colours, light and flowering of spring.

The Cross-Stitch of the Year motifs are an important part of Haandarbejdets Fremme’s history. They bring together month, season and nature in small embroidered pictures. Here, May is told through yellow tulips, green shoots and blue birds.

The motif has a calm and timeless expression. It can therefore be used both as a spring embroidery and as a classic wall hanging throughout the year.

A wall hanging with calm and balance

The finished wall hanging measures 30 x 30 cm. The square format suits the division of the motif well. The tulips fill the lower section, while the branch and birds create air at the top.
