The Embroider Buddy® Home Collection launched with the debut of our Easy as 1-2-3 Pillow and has been warmly welcomed onto sofas, beds and chairs ever since.

Like our much-loved Embroider Buddy® stuffed animals, our Easy as 1-2-3 Pillow was carefully conceived with the embroiderer in mind. As is implied by its name, the pillow (or cushion as some of our friends say) features easy access to the generous 14 x 14 blank canvas for your embroidered designs. Undoing a couple of hidden Velcro® closures, reveals the removable cushion and you, your hoops and your machine can embroider to your heart’s (and imagination’s) content. A much-loved feature is the flaps on the back of the pillow cover that can be used for an extra special touch.

Deborah Jones and I filmed this short video about our Embroider Buddy® Easy as 1-2-3 pillows. I know that you’ll appreciate the tips and wisdom from Deborah about the perfect hoop for your embroidery designs.

Our pillows have become a favourite among our customers and we’ve shared tips on decorating with pillows and offered up some great things to embroider on them for gifts.

Pillows are an easy and fun way to change up and refresh the look and feel of any space and as such, they are a great way to add to your seasonal décor. I know they will become part of your holiday preparations and will come back year after year along with keepsake pieces like ornaments and stockings.

Tell me, what’s your favourite thing to embroider on a fresh and large canvas?
