A fresh take on a timeless pattern, this cushion brings Matilda Goad's distinctive eye for colour and playful approach to interiors to the exclusive Curated by Cath Kidston collection.

Checks are a recurring motif in Matilda's work, celebrated for their simplicity, versatility and enduring appeal. Reimagined in a cheerful yellow colourway, this classic design takes on new texture and depth through intricate hand-worked needlepoint, creating a beautifully tactile piece for the home.

“There’s something incredibly powerful about knowing that the hand of the maker is visible in the finished piece.” - Matilda Goad

Each cushion is meticulously hand-stitched by Fine Cell Work stitchers in prison, providing purposeful, paid work that helps build confidence, develop valuable skills and create opportunities for the future.

A vibrant yet timeless addition to any interior, bringing warmth, character and a touch of Matilda's signature charm to a sofa or favourite armchair.

By giving prisoners hope that transformation is truly possible, they can envision a meaningful life after release. But nobody tells the story of how Fine Cell Work has helped them better than the prisoners themselves:

“Stitching allows me to use a totally different part of my brain and personality. I can move away from the more difficult reflections and anxieties and feel creative and purposeful. This means I no longer feel that my life has come to a halt and that I am of no use to anyone else.”

- Tom, FCW Stitcher -
