Description
This is a rectangular Christmas cushion measuring 35 by 50cm, worked in cotton velvet with a deep red face and a boucle-tufted ‘Merry Christmas’ script raised across it in soft white. The lettering is not printed but tufted, so it stands proud of the pile and catches the light, giving the front a texture you can run a hand across. A neat piped trim runs the whole way round the edge, and the reverse is a plain velvet in the same red, so the cushion looks finished from any angle.
A long rectangle like this suits a sofa, an armchair or the end of a bed, where its width lets it sit comfortably against a larger square cushion rather than competing with it. It pairs naturally with a plainer festive cushion or a green velvet square for a layered seasonal grouping, and the depth of the red reads well against neutral upholstery, pale wood and warm lamplight. Because the greeting does the talking, it is an easy way to bring Christmas into a room without redressing the whole space.
The base cloth is 100% cotton. Cotton velvet has a dense, soft pile and a natural matt sheen, and being a natural fibre it feels warm to the touch and wears well with regular seasonal use. The tufted script and the piped edge are the two details worth handling in person, as both give the front real relief. Store it flat and away from direct pressure when the season is over so the pile and the raised lettering keep their shape year to year.
