Sweet Cherry, hooked in wool, made up as a throw pillow. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
Made for the chair nobody sits in and everybody looks at. One hooked piece among smoother covers gives a sofa physical variety no pattern can fake.
Small red cherries scatter across a cream lumbar dotted with pale gray, each one hanging from a green leafy stem. A red border runs the full rectangle with a thin blue-gray line just inside it. The proportions are long and low, closer to a bolster than a standard lumbar.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. Wool outlives the furniture it was bought for, which is the whole reason people keep it. A wonderful gift for a housewarming, a decorator friend, or a first apartment.
