Vilde Blomster 1 – booklet – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

"Vilde Blomster" (Wild Flowers ) 1 is a classic embroidery booklet featuring botanical motifs designed by Gerda Bengtsson for Haandarbejdets Fremme. The booklet contains a collection of wild flowers inspired by Nordic nature, rendered with great respect for each plant’s characteristic form and growth.

The motifs depict wild flowers commonly found along roadsides, meadows, and forest edges. Each plant is drawn with attention to flower, leaves, and stem, creating a composition that feels light, balanced, and instantly recognisable. The colour palette is muted and harmonious, giving a calm expression that is characteristic of Gerda Bengtsson’s work.

Each flower can be embroidered individually or combined into larger compositions. This makes Wild Flowers 1 suitable for a wide range of projects, from small wall hangings, cushions, and placemats to larger textile pieces. The booklet therefore appeals to stitchers who appreciate flexible designs with many possible applications.

The booklet is produced in A5 format and is easy to keep at hand while working. The charts are clear and well structured, making it easy to transfer the motifs onto fabric. It is suitable both for experienced embroiderers and for those wishing to work with classic, high-quality botanical designs.

Wild Flowers 1 is a timeless booklet that represents the best of Danish embroidery tradition and Gerda Bengtsson’s unique ability to unite nature and craftsmanship.
