Description
This is a rectangular cushion in pure cotton, worked in a small yellow and white gingham check and finished with a soft frilled trim all the way around. Across the front, small sprigs of blue flowers on green stems are embroidered directly into the cloth, scattered in a loose repeat rather than lined up in rows. The back is the same gingham without the embroidery, so the pattern carries through cleanly. It measures 30 x 50cm, which is a bolster-ish lumbar proportion, longer than it is tall, made to sit in front of larger square cushions rather than to replace them.
A cushion this size does its best work as the front layer on a made-up bed, on a window seat, or on an armchair where a big square would swamp the frame. The yellow gingham brings a bright country note, and because the check is small and the ground is pale it reads as cheerful rather than heavy. It sits happily with plain whites and creams, with natural linens, and with other small checks and florals if you like a layered, cottage look. The blue embroidery gives you a second colour to pick up elsewhere in the room.
It is made from 100% cotton, so the fabric is soft to the touch and breathable, and cotton takes a wash and a warm iron well when the day comes. The cover has a discreet zip closure, which means you can take it off to launder it without wrestling the whole thing. The embroidery is stitched into the front, so treat it gently and let it air dry to keep the flowers crisp. If you are building a wider scheme, the gingham check is an easy anchor to repeat across throws and other cushions.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
It is made from 100% cotton, which makes it soft and breathable, and the small gingham check is woven rather than printed on the front.
How big is it and what is the shape?
It measures 30 x 50cm, a rectangular lumbar shape that is longer than it is tall, ideal as a front layer against larger square cushions.
Can I remove the cover to wash it?
Yes, there is a discreet zip closure along one side so you can take the cover off the pad for laundering when you need to.
Is the floral pattern printed or stitched?
The blue flowers are embroidered directly into the front of the cushion in green and blue thread, so they have real texture rather than being printed on.
Does the back match the front?
The back is the same yellow gingham check as the front but without the embroidery, so the check pattern reads consistently from every angle.
