The Alpine Folk Heart Cushion brings together some of my favourite motifs - wildflowers, trailing foliage and, of course, the heart. Inspired by the richly embroidered folk textiles found across Alpine regions, this design has a slightly bolder, more decorative feel, reminiscent of my much-loved Romany Heart cushion, with its vibrant colour, flowing embroidery and intricate detailing.

Hand-embroidered onto soft white linen-cotton fabric, the design combines delicate edelweiss, wildflowers and raspberry trails woven together into a striking heart-shaped arrangement. The richer embroidery and layered stitching give the cushion a wonderful depth and texture, while still retaining the handcrafted charm and attention to detail that defines all of my collections.

Finished with a contrast blanket stitch edging for a refined contemporary touch, the cushion is completed on the reverse with a simple back opening fastened with two mother-of-pearl buttons.
