The Pride
About the range
This range is particularly close to our hearts as it is a design collaboration between our founder Eppie, and her mother Joanna, with several of the sample cushions stitched by her grandmother, Meredith. Three generations wrapped up in a collection!
Our pride of lions are inspired by the ancient Assyrian carvings of lions, combined with the simplicity of colour palette in William de Morgans tiles. All this inspiration fed into a series of drawings by Joanna, depicting our lions, each with a personality of their own; from languid Englebert, to proud Barnabas, to fierce Fernando.
Needlepoint is about as relaxing as embroidery as the whole design is stitched in one stitch onto a pre-printed canvas. Almost like colouring by numbers! With no complicated stiches to learn, this stitching gives you the opportunity to completely switch off and unwind, whilst creating a cushion to last a lifetime.
Finishing your cushion
What materials do you need?
It can be overwhelming knowing where to begin when deciding how to finish your cushion, so we wanted to make this process simpler with a carefully curated range of finishing materials. We stock backing fabrics, tassel kits and a range of piping to make up your cushion.
We work with a seamstress who can make your cushions up for you. If you are in the UK and interested in this option, send an email to studio@thefabledthread.com Or otherwise, if you are a dab hand with a sewing machine, we have a how to video showing you how to do this process.
