Handsewn Logs

I have long admired My Imaginary Boyfriend's DIY log pillow kit.  I remember seeing a beautiful handsewn stump by Stephanie Barnes' now silent little birds handmade.  The stump I remember was larger than the one I linked.  I believe it was a birthday gift for her son.  It looked like it was about a foot tall and at least as wide with dark felt bark, all handstitched.  It looked like an object made with so much love.  Perhaps I'll allow myself the slightly kitschy indulgence of the log pillow kit before creating a version of my own.
