This is a stunning professionally made cushion cover in the “Thistle and Bee” design lovingly painted by Suffolk artist Sarah Reilly. Featuring a colourful bumblebee on a thistle flower.

We have our cushions made by one of the best manufacturers in England printed on the highest quality organic cotton. Each 18 inch cushion has an invisible zip and and a very smart piping to finish off the cushion beautifully. This is for the cover only, our cushions look great with a 19 inch pad for a plump look.

Each design is printed to showcase the colour and texture in Sarah’s paintings. These make a wonderful gift and look wonderful in any room of the home.

Thistle & Bee

Can you remember meeting your first Bumblebee?
I was playing hide and seek, balancing up a tree
Hands clamped over my mouth trying not to make a sound
When suddenly there was a gentle humming and buzzing all around
I let out a shriek as something huge flew in my face
I slipped and fell in the dirt tearing my dress of lace
What was that strange and rather scary thing?
I had to find out before the dinner bell would ring
It didn’t take me long before I heard a gentle hum
There on a thistle he hovered with a gorgeous fluffy bum
Such dainty silky wings just about holding him steady
A fluffy fuzz of friendliness dangling and leggy
I laughed as he squeezed into the throat of a foxglove
Greedy for the taste of sweet golden nectar waiting above
I now plant my own garden full of all their favourite flowers
I believe they sprinkle good wishes with each passing hour
