A hooked wool throw pillow: the Bluebird design. Hooked wool gives it real texture and weight rather than the flat face of a print.
For the window seat that faces the feeder. One hooked piece among smoother covers gives a sofa physical variety no pattern can fake.
One bluebird sits on a branch of pink cherry blossom, cream ground behind, with a violet bloom in the top corner and a butterfly and dragonfly worked in at the edges. Deeper blue on the wing than the bird on the birdhouse pillow.

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. Makes a good gift for anyone who keeps binoculars near the kitchen window.
