"Pillows have to be among the most perfect projects ever. They are relatively quick and easy to sew, ideal for stash-busting, and fun to embellish. Toss a few cool pillows on a sofa, a chair, or a bed and you can instantly change the look of a room. Now that we've sparked your imagination, here are 29 totally cute pillows to get you itching to start stitching, from traditional square and bolster forms to more sculptural shapes, like pillow-y brooches, decorative soft spheres, and whimsical key chains. These charming projects have been created by a group of talented indie designers who have explored a variety of great techniques, including appliqué, embroidery, trapunto, and smocking. Who could resist an eco-friendly travel pillow made from organic cotton and stuffed with bamboo fiber? When you're on the go, just roll it up and tuck it into its own compact case. Yesterday's wool sweater never looked better than it does as today's ultra chic decorative accent, while a child's drawing makes an adorable embroidered focal point on a bolster. There's even a tropical blossom crafted from felt that will never wilt! These pretty little pillows have big impact on your decore and your creative spirit!"

McConville, Nicole.
