New York City Needlepoint Cushion – Skyline Design, 45cm

A hand-stitched needlepoint cushion with a New York skyline design in bright colours and geometric detailing.

Why a skyline suits the technique

Needlepoint builds an image from a grid — stitch by stitch, square by square. Architecture is the natural fit, because straight lines and stacked blocks are exactly what a grid renders crisply.

It is why the city cushions in this range have more definition than the painterly ones.

Details

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

Where it works

Part of the travel-city series with London, Paris, Tokyo, Dubai and Havana. Two or three grouped reads as a collection; one on its own reads as a specific memory, which is usually the better story.

Care

Spot clean the needlepoint face. Do not machine wash. Turn it occasionally so both faces wear evenly.
