In our celebratory Christmas issue (on sale until 2nd Oct) you'll find this botanical leaf cushion by Anette Eriksson, perfectly capturing Autumn's beauty.

What's best, the rich shades of mulberry and lime mean it will look just as striking displayed in the summer months. Forget fancy homeware and stitch your own set of contemporay cushions instead!

You'll find the whole pattern on page 83 of our latest issue, but to get you started here's two bonus leaf charts to download.

Why not stitch them on their own and create a set of leafy napkins or placemats for your dining room.
