Little Women Cushion - Whispered Threads Collection

Usually ready in 2-4 days
Late at night my mind would come alive with voices and stories…”
That line, spoken by Jo March in the film Little Women, captures something that resonates deeply with us as Traveller women.
Storytelling is more than tradition - it’s how we as women make sense of the world, keep memories alive and imagine new futures. This cushion was created as a tribute to that inner life: the dreaming, the longing, the transformation that begins with a story.
Handmade in rich navy velvet, the Little Women cushion features the full embroidered quote from Jo March - words that remind us of nights filled with imagination, voices and connection. Each cushion is available with or without hand-crocheted flowers, included at no extra cost.
This is the first piece in our full Whispered Threads Collection - a way to honour our love of words, craft, and heritage.
- Handmade by Traveller women in Wicklow
- Embroidered quote from Little Women
- Optional crochet flowers (included in price)
- Includes customisation — we’ll contact you after purchase
- Created as part of the 2025 Wicklow craft exhibition (Cinematic Thread: From Screen to Craft) at Powerscourt Gardens in collaboration with Made in Wicklow and the Irish Costume Archive Project.
Bring home a cushion that speaks - a quiet reminder of the power of story. Get in touch for more information about our Whispered Thread collection.
