I had purchased several skeins of yarn to make yarn eggs but then I realized that Easter is only a few days away. I'm too late to decorate this year! I didn't want all that pretty yarn to sit unused for a whole year so I picked a few spring-y colors...
Cut them slightly longer than the top piece of my pillow...
Sewed over each end and the center to anchor the yarn...
Then stitched back and forth many times with coordinating thread. Trimmed the yarn...
Sewed the back pieces to the front. Turned it right side out and popped in a pillow. Easy peasy!
I'm loving the texture!

Wow, that is really cool. I agree, the texture is awesome, and I love the colors you chose. Fun idea!
What a fun idea! You never cease to amaze me!
It is very cool - love all the texture!
yeah, in true SNL form, this is "pretty cool." i never in a million years would have thought of making something like this, which is why you have an amazing blog and i do not! i'm glad i have you to steal ideas from! :)
love this!
Such a fun idea, and I'm in desperate need of some updated throw pillows. The stitching really MAKES it.
Oh, this is awesome! So original, and I love the colors too.
I love the look, and so easy! Let us know when you wash it. . .
So cool... I love the colors.
Is that ever neat! I love your pillow. Fabulous!!
ooh, i like this too. i'll have to add that to my list of projects.
Love this!
Love your colours, but what a great way to use of scraps, too!
Do you think it would handle the washing machine? I'm doing a crazy baby blanket, and that would look so cool as a section!
wow the possibilities with this! So amazing.
That is amazing! I have never seen something like this, what a fabulous idea! Also, a good way for me to use up all the yarn I bought when I had visions of becoming a great knitter...
I am not sure how it will do in the wash. The yarn is really stitched down. I don't think it's going anywhere. Maybe I will throw it in the wash today and see how it does...
Erin, you are so fab. That pillow is awesome!
I loove this pillow! so inventive Erin!

I was just wondering if you ever did wash it to see how it held up in the washing machine? I think I wanna make a few of these myself!!!
