The swallow is a traveller without borders, returning each year across continents.
For sailors it was a promise of safe landfall; in Nordic lore a protector of the home.
Its flight carries the joy of reunion and the freedom of journeys.

Two swallows perch on a magnolia branch, their closeness suggesting a tender exchange. This delicate scene is embroidered by Rwayda in Iraqi Kurdistan and set in hand saddle-stitched Cognac leather by Anette in Haraldsted, Denmark.
