I don't usually go for shaped pillows (or extra pillows at all), but I'm trying not to be so uptight these days. And yes, it was those birch pillows that got me. I need a mountain cabin just so I can make a big pile of log pillows to pile on the quilt-covered bed!
- The stuffed log kits, in either "birch" or just "log", are available from The Curiosity Shoppe on Valencia in San Francisco. So cute! They are $25, and you'll need to provide your own stuffing- a great chance to use still-luxurious down from pillows that are on their last legs.
- Speaking of luxury, the house pillow by Donna Wilson for ReForm School is made of 100% lambswool, knitted in Scotland, and stuffed with duck feathers. It would be fun to make your own to match your actual house...
- A pile of strawberry pillows is the spring-iest thing ever! I want to take them on a picnic in a meadow! It will need to stop raining for more than 20minutes first, though. The Purl Bee has super-detailed instructions for making strawberry pillows of your very own.
- Now we have the rock cushions by Ronel Jordaan. I love these in the same way I love her rock pincushions, but..bigger. How do you think they would look in an actual home? Her merino wool cushions range from $195-$1,195, so it would be great to figure how to make a homespun version. Has anyone attempted it?
- Once again, the Purl Bee is cranking out the spring cuteness, with a tutorial for little lambie pillows. They would make great non-candy additions to baskets this spring!

The logs are cute, but I'm generally pretty crazy about all of the stone-shaped stuff.
I love the lamb pillows, but I really like the faux bois pillow behind them.

Don't forget about sushi pillows!

If kit's aren't your thing, the log pillows are also available, already sew up into pillows, directly from erika in her shop.

Sweet, these are so cute!
LOVE the rock pillows. The logs are just too cartoony for me.
You ask "Has anyone attempted it?" in regards to making faux rocks out of wool. The process is called felting--search on these three words and find all kinds of instructions: felted wool rocks
Unfortunately most felted rock tutorials leave you with a center made of...rock. I did see one tutorial for rock-free fake rocks, but those are tiny. Reproducing them on a larger scale would be expensive, plus I don't think it'd give you the results you want. I think the original rock cushions are felt surrounding stuffing -- I don't think pure roving would be what you want.
Any thoughts? I could be wrong; I don't see seams on the original rocks.
