\"Kakler med skibe\" (Tiles with Ships) - wall piece - Ida Winckler (IW) is a classic cross stitch embroidery with a maritime motif in blue and white shades. The design is arranged as a rectangular wall piece with repeated tile sections. Each circular section contains a sailing ship on the water. Between the sections are small compass roses and decorative lines that emphasise the maritime expression.<\/p>\n
The motif has a clear rhythm. The round tiles are arranged in three horizontal rows, creating a structured graphic composition. The ships vary from section to section, but they are unified by the blue colour and the precise layout. The waves at the bottom of each section add movement. The light sails stand out as calm surfaces against the blue background.<\/p>\n
The embroidery shows several types of sailing ships with masts, sails, hulls and small flags. Some ships have broad sails. Others have several narrow sails, giving the motif fine variation. Although the details are small, the motif remains easy to read due to the clear contrast between the blue stitched areas and the light linen.<\/p>\n
The waves are embroidered as repeated horizontal forms. They give each ship a clear position on the sea. The small stars or crosses around the ships create a sense of air, wind and open sky. The compass roses between the tiles bring the rows together and give the wall piece a decorative character.<\/p>\n
The colour palette is simple and effective. The blue shade gives the embroidery a clean and calm expression. It also suits the motif\u2019s connection to the sea, sailing and coastal life. The finished wall piece measures 42 x 66 cm and is well suited for display in a room with maritime references.<\/p>\n
The motif is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme (HF) linen fabric 10B. This combination creates a classic embroidery with a clear structure. The linen forms a light and calm background. Danish Flower Thread gives the blue stitches a lively yet balanced expression.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery designs of high quality and a clear design language. In this wall piece, the tradition is visible in the precise layout and decorative repetition. Ida Winckler has created a motif where the ships function as both pattern and narrative. This gives the embroidery a distinctive combination of ornament and motif.<\/p>\n
Tiles with Ships is especially suitable for the experienced embroiderer. The format is larger, and the repeated structure requires calmness and accuracy. In return, the work creates a very harmonious result. The finished wall piece is well suited to a summer house, hallway or living room. It can also be displayed anywhere a maritime embroidery may add character.<\/p>\n\n
