I have seen placemat pillows all over blog land. I believe this was the place I found the idea first. I took a plain white linen placemat that was $1 at my local Big Lots (gotta love em!). And just added a hand embroidered "H" before stuffing the pillow. I just love it on the chair in my bedroom!

That's so pretty, and the H works perfectly for me ;) Now I'm going to have to go check out my Big Lots.
Thanks for your comment on my blog!
Angie, This is such a simple and creative idea. So great. I love the hand embroidered lettering. I am going to try this!
Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Angie
Such a simple idea and yet so classy looking with the initial on it. Great idea! Thanks for joining the party today.
Hugs, Rhondi
That is so nicely done! Does that require a sewing machine? If it does I can't do it. I can't sew a stitch... I think i made a c in my home ec. class in high school.. lol
Thanks for stopping by come by any time...
I'm having a party on Thursday's called "get your craft on" and I would love for you to link to it.
Beautiful pillow! I'm a huge fan of Big Lots and their dishes; I'll check out the placemats for sure.
I love your pillow and how you personalized it!
Great job!
Thanks so much for coming by my blog and enjoying the new advice series!
I love pillows BTW! The one you have in your post today is lovely!

Lori -- Just buy a placemat that is "two ply". In other words -- has fabric on front and back. Open up the seam on the "bottom" about 3 inches. Then you can hand embroider the initial like I did or you could paint it if you did not want to embroider. Or buy a pretty placemat that already has a design and don't worry about the initial at all! ;) Stuff the pillow through the opening. And if you don't want to sew just use that liquid stitch stuff to close your opening. Hope that helps!!
I love how this came out, great use for dollar placemats. This would be so expensive at a boutique! I can see you just started blogging, and you've already shared some great ideas. I can't wait to see what you continue to bring us.
