Description
This is the Winter Warmest Wishes cushion, a 50 x 50cm square worked in cotton velvet with a raised embroidered design. The face carries the words 'Warmest Christmas Wishes' in a flowing script, framed by leaves, holly and starbursts stitched in white against a soft natural beige velvet ground. The embroidery stands proud of the velvet, so the pattern catches the light and reads as texture as much as colour, which is what gives the front its handmade feel up close.
A cushion like this is a seasonal piece, made to come out for Christmas and sit on a sofa, an armchair or a bed through the colder weeks. The pale neutral palette keeps it easy to place: it works against darker upholstery where the white stitching lifts, and it settles happily among creams and warm neutrals for a quieter, more understated festive look. At 50 x 50cm it is a generous square, large enough to anchor a corner of a sofa on its own or to layer in front of plainer cushions behind it.
It is made of 100% cotton throughout, with the pattern embroidered onto a cotton velvet base and a plain reverse in cream. Cotton velvet gives that short, dense pile you can feel under the hand, and being pure cotton it is a natural fibre that wears in gently over time. The edge is finished with an Oxford flange, the flat border that runs around all four sides, and an embroidered detail runs within it. The plain back means it can be turned over for a calmer look when the front is not on show. If you like the embroidered woodland style, it sits well with other white-on-neutral seasonal pieces.

Frequently Asked
What is the front of the cushion made of?
The face is a cotton velvet base with the design embroidered onto it in raised white thread, and the whole cushion is 100% cotton.
How big is the cushion?
It measures 50 x 50cm, a generous square that works well on a sofa, an armchair or laid across a bed.
What does the back look like?
The reverse is plain cream with no pattern, so you can turn it over for a simpler look when the embroidered front is not on display.
What is an Oxford flange edge?
It is the flat fabric border that runs around all four sides of the cushion, sitting outside the filled centre and giving the piece a framed, finished look.
Will the natural colour fit a non festive room?
The soft beige and white palette is quiet enough to sit among creams and neutrals, though the wording makes it very much a Christmas cushion.
