What are the round discs on this cover?
They are small round mirror-like discs set into the patchwork, and they catch the light around them. They sit among embroidered squares in teal, mustard and red on a purple and lilac base.
How do the colours come together?
Purple and lilac form the base, with teal, mustard and red panels and gold accents. The mix of cool purple with warm mustard and red makes it feel rich, and a plain purple flat edge frames the patchwork.
What are the measurements?
It measures 16 x 16 inches. It is sold without the cushion filler, so slip in a 16 x 16 inch insert of your choice and it is ready for a sofa, bed or armchair.
Where can I place it?
It sits well on a sofa, a bed or an armchair, and adds colour to a reading nook or a window seat. Group it with plain cushions in cream or grey so the purple and mirror work stand out.
Why might it have small irregularities?
Because it is made entirely by hand. Slight irregularities are a natural outcome of human involvement in the process, and they are part of the charm of handmade patchwork rather than a flaw.
What is the best way to clean it?
Dry cleaning is the preferred option for this embroidered cover. For a home wash, use a gentle handwash with mild detergent, keep it separate from other laundry, and dry it in the shade.
