Home Sweet F*cking Home Needlepoint Cushion – 45cm, Pink Velvet Back

A hand-stitched needlepoint cushion taking a very traditional sampler phrase somewhere less traditional, backed in soft pink velvet.

The joke is the medium

Home Sweet Home is the archetypal needlepoint sampler — the thing people have been hand-stitching and framing for two centuries. Adding one word to it, in the same technique, is a much better joke than printing the phrase on a mug.

The soft pink velvet reverse does the same work: it looks entirely respectable from the back.

Details

• Hand-stitched needlepoint front
• Pink velvet reverse — fully reversible
• 45cm x 45cm square
• Inner hollowfibre cushion included

Where it works

Housewarming gifts for people who will find it funny, and sofas belonging to people who are not expecting their mother-in-law.

Turn it over when she visits.

Care

Spot clean the needlepoint face. Do not machine wash. Remove and air the inner cushion as needed.
