Description
The Martha cushion is a 50 x 50cm square in a warm yellow-and-cream stripe, with a soft floral embroidery worked across the front. Look closely and you will see clusters of pink and cream blooms with green foliage, stitched in raised thread against the fine stripe. The fabric is a polyester and linen blend, 85% polyester to 15% linen, which gives it a natural, linen-look texture with the everyday resilience polyester brings. Around the whole edge runs a gathered ruffle in the same stripe, a proper country-cottage frill rather than a token trim.
This is a cushion for a bed made up for comfort, a window seat or the corner of a sofa where a bit of softness earns its place. The bright stripe and the embroidered flowers suit relaxed, country-leaning rooms and sit happily against florals, plains and other stripes without needing to match anything exactly. Because the yellow reads cheerful rather than loud, it lifts a green or neutral scheme well, and it works as easily on a made bed as it does on a reading chair.
The cover has a discreet zip along one edge, so you can slip the pad out for cleaning and put it back without wrestling. The linen content means the blend breathes and softens with handling, while the polyster majority holds its shape and colour through regular use. The ruffle is gathered rather than flat, so it keeps its body over time. If you like the look, it is the kind of piece that layers well with a plainer cushion behind it, letting the embroidery and the frill do the talking at the front.
