Worked in wool needlepoint, the Old Fashioned Tree throw pillow features a Christmas tree. Wool needlepoint has a firm, flat surface that lets the design read clearly from across the room.
Sits well on a sofa, a bed, or a reading chair. It layers well with a hooked piece or plain velvet, and repeating one of its colors pulls a sofa together.
Layered borders do much of the work here, a green sprig band set inside a red one, all around a cream center where a decorated tree stands with gifts underneath, and red shows again at the welt and corners. Traditional enough to stay on a sofa all season.

Needlepoint is patient work, and the stitch count is what gives the design its fine detail and the piece its firm, even surface. These are made in limited seasonal quantities. The wool is why this one goes back into the box every January instead of into the bin. A thoughtful gift for a Christmas host, a newlywed couple, or a family collection that grows every year, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
