V&A Flowers Cushion

"A plate in the Victoria and Albert Museum was the inspiration for this design. It is Welsh and dates from between 1811 and 1819, and is elegantly painted with a basket of full-blown garden flowers. I loved the vibrant warmth of the blooms but decided to leave out the basket. As a background to the bouquet I decided on a very pale brocade, which works effectively without introducing new colours. The border was suggested by a chair seat from the V&A's textile collection, dated 1737 and depicting a stylised vase of flowers. From it I fitted various elements around the bouquet, echoing its richness and making a good edge to the pale brocade."

The tapestry is worked on 10 guage canvas and the worked area measures 19½" x 19½" (48cm x 48cm) suitable for a pillow or cushion.
