This collection of cushion facings is inspired by the Medicine Wheel and the five directions/elements.
Within this E-Book you will find five patterns, each is one square, you will need to make nine, for each cushion facing, and a border.
You can mix and match colours, as I have, or make them all the same, allow your own creativity to flow. These facings fit perfectly on to an Ikea 20inch /50cm cushion cover.
Many Native traditions follow the Wheel, using the four directions of East, South, West and North, and the four elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth, along with a fifth element of Spirit, which is at the centre of all things.
The wheel and the elements follow the life cycles of the seasons, of our own lifetime on earth, and of all the plants, trees and animals.
The element of Spirit, relates to Great Spirit, God, Mother Nature, the name we give to that universal power does not matter, it is the belief of something greater that we are all a part of that is important. I have chosen to interpret these in my own way.
