Whispered Threads Cushion – Navy Velvet
Whispered Threads Collection | Handmade Embroidered Irish Homeware
“Late at night my mind would come alive with voices and stories…”
Spoken by Jo March in Little Women, this line captures something that resonates deeply with us as Traveller women — the quiet inner life shaped by memory, imagination and storytelling.
For us, storytelling is more than tradition. It is how women make sense of the world, carry memories forward and imagine new futures. This cushion was created as a tribute to that inner space: the dreaming, the longing and the transformation that begins with a story.
Handmade in rich navy blend velvet, the Little Women cushion features the full embroidered quote, professionally machine embroidered in our studio in Wicklow. Now you can order your Whispered Threads cushion, skillfully embroidered with the quote, or lyric, that means the most to you. Each Whispered Threads cushion is available with or without hand-crocheted floral embellishments, included at no additional cost, allowing every cushion to feel very personal and expressive.
This Little Women design is the first piece in our Whispered Threads Collection — a body of work that honours words, craft, and heritage through textile storytelling.
