Candlewicking Cushions


Above are 2 cushions I made years ago. The technique is called candlewicking, which is basically a combination of colonial knots and stem stitch, at least that's what was used for the above cushions. The design came pre-printed on the fabric so it was just a matter of knoting and stitching over the pre-drawn dots and lines. It gives quite a nice effect. I rather enjoyed making these.
