Vilde Blomster 4 – booklet – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

Wild Flowers 4 is the fourth booklet in Gerda Bengtsson’s iconic series of botanical cross-stitch designs. Created in collaboration with Haandarbejdets Fremme, the series is today regarded as some of the finest examples of classic Danish embroidery design.

In Wild Flowers 4, a new collection of wild flowers is presented, interpreted with the same confident sense of form and naturalistic detail that characterizes Gerda Bengtsson’s work. Each motif stands alone and depicts the plant with stem, leaves, and flowers. The roots are often included, giving the designs a distinctly botanical, almost scientific expression.

The motifs are composed in clear, calm colors. The palette supports the plants’ natural character without appearing decorative or exaggerated. This results in embroideries that feel timeless and harmonious—precisely the balance that defines Wild Flowers 4.

The booklet is produced in A5 format and is easy to use while stitching. The motifs are suitable for many applications. They can be embroidered individually as small wall hangings, combined into series, or paired with motifs from other booklets in the Wild Flowers range. Many stitchers also choose to use them for personal textiles or framed pieces.

Wild Flowers 4 appeals to stitchers who enjoy classic cross stitch and nature-inspired motifs. The booklet suits both experienced embroiderers and those who wish to immerse themselves in calm, precise stitching. It is also an excellent addition to the other titles in the Wild Flowers series.

With Wild Flowers 4, the legacy of Gerda Bengtsson and Haandarbejdets Fremme is continued. It is a booklet that invites concentration, repetition, and the quiet pleasure of embroidering nature stitch by stitch.
