\"\u00c5ret rundt med blomster\" (Flowers All Year Round) - wall piece - Edith Hansen (EH) is a detailed embroidery design in cross stitch, where the diversity of nature unfolds in a dense and lively motif. Here, the delicate blooms of spring, the vibrant colours of summer and the richness of late summer are brought together in one unified composition.<\/p>\n
The motif is structured like a lush flower meadow. The individual flowers are closely arranged and vary in both shape and colour. Yellow, red, blue and pink shades interact with green stems and leaves, creating a natural rhythm and a sense of movement across the embroidery.<\/p>\n
The flowers are simplified in their expression, yet still recognisable. They are placed at different heights and directions, adding life and variation to the design. A green border frames the composition and provides a calm finish.<\/p>\n
As an embroidery project, this motif is both decorative and engaging. It offers the opportunity to work with many colours and achieve a nuanced result, while also celebrating the changing seasons and the recurring cycle of nature.<\/p>\n
This embroidery kit was originally released as part of The Year In Cross Stitch 1988, placing the design within a strong tradition where classic embroidery continues to inspire today.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is stitched on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 10B using Danish Flower Thread. This combination provides clear stitches and a refined texture that supports the many fine details in the motif.<\/p>\n
The finished wall piece is well suited for display in the home, where it brings colour and life. It can stand alone or be combined with other botanical embroidery designs.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme has a strong tradition of botanical embroidery designs, where the flowers and plants of the year take centre stage. The The Year In Cross Stitch series is a clear example of this.<\/p>\n
A distinctive feature of The Year In Cross Stitch 1988 is that the motifs could function both individually and as a collective narrative of the year. Flowers All Year Round brings this idea together in a single wall piece.<\/p>\n\n
