The motif is an embroidery pattern from Cross-Stitch of the Year April 1988. This gives the wall hanging a special connection to Haandarbejdets Fremme’s classic calendar tradition, where the flowers, colours and moods of nature were transformed into small embroidered pictures.

A motif with blue Spring Navelwort
The motif is built up in two clear sections. At the bottom, the Spring Navelwort fills the surface with small blue flowers. The flowers sit closely together and create a lively base of blue shades.
The blue flowers vary in tone. Some are clear and light blue, while others are darker and deeper. The small dark flower centres create contrast and make each flower stand out clearly.
Between the flowers are fine green stems and leaves. They create rhythm in the motif and bind the flowers together. The dense floral base therefore has both fullness and lightness.
At the top of the motif is a simple branch stretching diagonally across the surface. The branch is embroidered in green shades and gives the embroidery a more open expression. It creates a fine contrast to the dense floral surface below.
