August is a month full of colour, late summer light and small shifts between summer and autumn. It is a time when the garden can still be filled with warm tones, while darker shades slowly begin to appear. August 2024 - doily \/ napkin - Rikke Ruff (RR) is an embroidery kit with a modern, graphic motif, where circles, vertical lines and clear colour fields form a lively pattern on a light linen background.<\/p>\n
The motif consists of vertical rows with round forms connected by narrow coloured lines. The many circles sit like beads or graphic points of colour in a systematic pattern, yet the expression still feels playful and alive. There is a clear repetition, but no heavy monotony.<\/p>\n
The colours range widely. There are clear red and yellow fields, deep blue tones, black, green, turquoise, orange and more muted olive-green shades. The strong colours give the motif energy, while the light linen background creates air between the forms. This makes the embroidery fresh and modern, yet still calm enough to work as a decorative doily \/ napkin.<\/p>\n
The round forms may bring to mind beads, berries, pearls or small graphic symbols. Because the motif does not depict one specific thing, the colours and composition are allowed to carry the entire expression. This makes the embroidery ideal for those who love modern embroidery, clear colours and motifs with a simple, but strong visual idea.<\/p>\n
The finished doily \/ napkin measures 18 x 18 cm. The square format suits the rhythmic structure of the motif well, with the rows distributed evenly across the surface. The embroidery can be used on a small table, tray, shelf or as a colourful detail in a table setting.<\/p>\n
The motif is also well suited for framing, if you want a small textile picture with modern character. The clear colours make it easy to combine with both light, simple surroundings and more colourful interiors. It is a small piece of embroidery, but it has a clear expression.<\/p>\n
This embroidery kit is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural textile expression, so the many contrasts do not become harsh. The linen also provides a classic foundation, creating a fine balance between traditional needlework and Rikke Ruff\u2019s modern design language.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits where materials, patterns and design tradition are carefully balanced. In this kit, linen 10B, Danish Flower Thread and a motif come together to show how embroidery can also be graphic, contemporary and full of colour.<\/p>\n
With August 2024 - doily \/ napkin - Rikke Ruff (RR), Rikke Ruff has created a motif where the colours are allowed to play the main role. The round forms, the vertical connections and the many colour shifts give the embroidery a joyful and rhythmic character.
