Donna's Handmade Bohemian Cushion

✦ Handmade in Yellow Springs, Ohio Donna Hargrove, 69. Retired schoolteacher and quilter from the Ohio craft town of Yellow Springs. She's been quilting since her grandmother taught her in Holmes County — and stitching these Suzani-print cushions for nearly twenty years. She's making one final batch. This is it. "I never sold a single one. They were always for family, for neighbors, for the church raffle. Now they have to go somewhere — and I'd like them to go to people who'll actually live with them." — Donna Hargrove, Yellow Springs, OH What You Receive Everything That Ships With Your Cushion ◆ The Bohemian Cushion Hand-tufted Suzani-print cushion, 42 × 42 cm, fill included — ready to sit on. ✦ Care Card Donna's instructions for washing it right and keeping the colors bright. ✉ A Note From Donna A folded handwritten note in every box — from the woman who made it. ◎ Free Shipping Free shipping on every order. Ships in 2–3 days. 90-day returns. Why This Cushion Six Things You Won't Find on a Factory Cushion Every detail below comes out of nearly twenty years of making these cushions the way Donna worked it out — combining the quilting her grandmother taught her with the Suzani and Kantha patterns she found in Istanbul and Jaipur. Nothing here is an accident. ◆ Fill Included — It's a Cushion, Not a Cover This ships as a complete, ready-to-sit cushion with the fill already inside. Not an empty cover you have to stuff yourself. Open the box, set it on your chair, sit down. That's it. ◎ Hand-Tufted at Nine Points Donna tufts each cushion by hand at nine points across the face — the deep dimples that give it shape and stop the fill from shifting and bunching the way cheap ones do after a week. ✦ Pom-Pom Trim Stitched by Hand The pom-pom trim runs around all four edges, stitched on by hand one length at a time. Not glued. Glued trim, Donna says, is the first thing to go — so she doesn't glue anything. ☐ Stays Firm — Doesn't Go Flat The fill is packed dense enough that Donna sits on every cushion before it ships. If it doesn't hold its shape, she restuffs it. She's been sitting on hers for three years — still firm, no sagging. ◇ Machine-Washable on Cool Built for real life with kids, pets, and dinner tables. When accidents happen, it goes through a cool, gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry, no tumble drying. The colorfast fabric won't bleed onto your floor or sofa. ★ Final Batch — Limited Quantity Donna isn't making more. The cushions on her shelves are the last batch that will ever come out of her workshop. No reorders, no second runs, no next season. — A Note Donna Keeps in Her Shoebox "Dear Donna — my living room had been the same beige nothing for nine years. I put your teal cushion on the chair by the window and suddenly that whole corner had a reason to exist. My daughter sat in it for an hour the first day. I've ordered a second one for the bench. Thank you for making something that actually feels like someone made it." A longtime customer — one of dozens of handwritten notes Donna has kept in a shoebox on her studio shelf.

Just an email to the shop. A Note From the Workshop Donna makes every cushion by hand, one at a time, in her studio in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Because each cushion is made by hand and cut individually from the fabric, slight variations in the pattern, the position of the print, and the placement of the pom-poms are a natural part of how each one comes out. These are not flaws. This is what handmade looks like. To keep it at its best: machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle when needed. Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry. The fabric is colorfast and won't bleed — treat it gently and it will outlast most of what you own.
