{"product_id":"anne-cuahion","title":"Hearts \u0026 Paisley Cushion Cover Pattern","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe inspiration for this cushion was taken from the Ladies’ Work Society Coverlet in The Guild Collection. The coverlet was made between 1875 and 1899 and the maker is unknown. This appliquéd coverlet is made from a background of blue and off-white linen, with appliqué motifs of good quality printed dress fabrics. All of the applied fabric has been couched over its joining edge with embroidery silks, and in the centre of the piece ‘Industria’ is \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eembroidered in satin stitch. A Ladies Work Society woven label is still \u003c\/span\u003epresent on the back of the coverlet, and reads 'Ladies Work Society, 21 Sloan Street, London'. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Ladies Work Society was established in 1875 and was part of the wider Arts and Crafts movement that was emerging at the end of the 19th century. Led by artists such as William Morris, the movement aimed to promote and encourage architecture and the applied arts as worthy artistic disciplines. Textiles, as an artistic craft, was one of the disciplines revived, and the Ladies Work Society provided a respectable \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003emeans of employment for distressed gentlewomen, who had needlework \u003c\/span\u003eskills and education but no other means of making a living. Decoratively embroidered clothing and textiles were made to order through the Society or sold through their premises on Sloane Street, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFinished size 16” x 16”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFinished block size 8” x 8”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quiltworks","offers":[{"title":"Digital","offer_id":57265234477436,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paper","offer_id":57265234510204,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/0145\/files\/Screenshot2026-08-10at09.42.55.png?v=1786351411","url":"https:\/\/www.quiltersguildshop.org.uk\/products\/anne-cuahion","provider":"Quiltworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
