Our Nutcrackers throw pillow puts a nutcracker front and center, worked in embroidered needlepoint. Stitch and embroidery together give the face a worked surface a print cannot copy.
The pillow that comes out of the attic box every year. Put it beside a plain velvet or linen cover and let the stitch work carry the difference.
Needlepoint in pink and turquoise, three nutcrackers standing in a row on a cream ground with tiny ornaments scattered around them and a scalloped pink border framing the face. Turquoise and pink where red and gold usually go, a bigger departure than it sounds.

Needlepoint worked stitch by stitch with embroidered detail added over it, which is why the face carries two different textures. Seasonal designs are made in limited runs: once a Christmas design sells through it is usually gone until next year. Worth buying for anyone building a Christmas box worth inheriting, or for your own house.
