The centre features a large \u003cstrong\u003ecream boiled-wool snowflake appliqué\u003c\/strong\u003e set against the lovely \u003cstrong\u003eChristmas Rose Angels\u003c\/strong\u003e fabric, creating a soft, almost storybook winter scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe snowflake is fused in place and then \u003cstrong\u003ehand stitched around the edges with a delicate split stitch\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it that wonderful handmade Acufactum look. You can leave it beautifully simple or add a little extra stitching, sequins and tiny seed beads for sparkle — the book shows these embellishments as an optional way to make the snowflake catch the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the outside is a softly gathered \u003cstrong\u003eanthracite-and-white striped ruffle\u003c\/strong\u003e, which I think is such a lovely finishing detail. The darker stripe frames the pale snowflake beautifully and gives the cushion just enough contrast while still keeping the overall look soft and wintery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back of the cushion is finished with a zipper, so the cover can easily be removed from the pillow form. Acufactum describes the design as a sparkling snowflake drifting down against delicate Christmas roses, framed by the gently gathered striped ruffle — and that really does capture the feel of this project perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished size:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately \u003cstrong\u003e16½\" × 16½\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended pillow form:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e16\" × 16\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The complete pattern, snowflake template and sewing instructions for the Winter Snowflake Cushion are found in the \u003cstrong\u003eA Handmade Winter\u003c\/strong\u003e book.
