William Yeoward Hand Embellished Charise Cushion
We are delighted to be launching a new line of hand-embellished, embroidered cushions with British heritage brand William Yeoward. Long-standing supporters of Fine Cell Work, William Yeoward have built a global reputation for their 'Modern British' aesthetic and exquisite craftsmanship.
Charise means 'Hopeful' in French. This design represents The Tree of Life, a motif that has been used universally in many different forms to represent growth, fertility and life.
Textural elements are layered onto the design through delicate French knots, woven wheel, buttonhole wheel and stem, herringbone and whipped running stitches, with glossy, coordinating thread emphasizing the underlying design details.
Digitally printed onto 100% linen, this cushion features a triptych of the main motif in miniature on the reverse, and it elevated with cream piping.
This curated collection provides our stitchers with intermediate work that encourages a honing of skills through an emphasis on accuracy and consistency throughout each of the pieces. The designs are painterly and playful, with a sense of movement and fluidity expressed throughout.

“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 -
