#8: Heraldic Tent Stitch Cushion

This cushion is worked in contentintal stitch with basket weave back. I used DMC Tapisserie wool with 14 count canvas. The wool was a tight fit on that canvas, but it made a firm, dense and durable cushion.

The design is based on my personal heraldry:

“Per chevron purpure and argent, a chevron counterchanged
between three thimbles in chevron argent and a rose proper”
