Our Bluebird Birdhouse throw pillow is hooked in wool. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
Bird-lover decor that does not tip into novelty. Repeat one of its colors somewhere else in the room and the whole arrangement locks together.
A bluebird perches on a branch of pink dogwood in front of a peaked wooden birdhouse, all set against a soft blush ground. Blossoms spread across the lower corners. Spring imagery that does not tie itself to one holiday.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. Wool is why pieces like this last: it resists crushing, holds its dye, and looks better used than new. A thoughtful gift for anyone who keeps binoculars near the kitchen window, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
