ess is usually morę when it conies to flora! designs, to avoid that overpowering hot-house look. And that s the reason why we really love diis subtle yet funky cushion! No one element shouts too loud, and the diflerent flowers are all smali but perfecdy fbrmed. We chose an understated neutral fabric to finish ours, to allow the dazzling thread colours to really shine out - but ifyou re after something morę dramadc, pick out one of the colours in the design and find a fabric in that shade instead. Take your stitching along to the shop with you to mateh the colours, and try out a few options before you decide.
