Advice Seeking: Pillow or Framed?

jl&jl · February 2012

My husband's co-worker and his wife just had a baby. I've only met her once. I do know that they are having a John Deere themed bedroom. I'm working on an appliqued tractor piece and I'm planning on embroidering the baby's name and date of birth.

Question is...should I make it into a pillow or frame it for their wall? I can't decide.

I would prefer the wall hanging but you really can't go wrong.

I'd frame it. Pillows aren't really practical in a nursery because you can't put them in the crib and I think they get in the way on a chair or glider.

I would have opted for the pillow (my go-to baby gift). I make a crib pillow; for decoration purposes only, of course. They make a great keepsake.

Now that I see the responses, I may rethink this gift for boys. Here's a couple of pillows that I have made:

Framed wall hanging! Cool nursery art for the win.

I have a terrible time picking out wall art for the nurseries. LOL

Those are super cute!

I was leaning towards pillows, but after reading everyone's posts, I think I may turn in into wall art. I guess it will last longer, too. Thank you ladies!

I am realizing I often answer posts that don't answer the question exactly. That being said I think this is really cute and you could maybe put the tractor into somehow.

The tutorial is here. I am sure they will love anything you create as it is always a little more special!

This is a GREAT idea! Only I've already made and appliqued a tractor and embroidered his name. I'm thinking this would be a great wedding gift too. As in when they met, when they married, etc. Thanks for the idea!

Framed just because pillows are hard to keep clean if not put into a display case.
