Our grandson lives quite a ways away, so I made a little hug pillow. We traced his arms & hands onto paper, then transfered it to linen. Embroidered it adding his name, age, & the year we traced it. I made it into a pillow with a red corduroy backing.
What a fun idea! And so much more creative than the regular kid handprint picture. I bet he loves it when he gets older and sees how much he’s grown.

thanks, I hope so.
My husband joked if we do this yearly we’d have a crazy amount of these pillows, but I think I may take them apart in the future & applique them on a large quilt out of them.

This is not only adorable, but also elevated decor. The quilt idea is wonderful, too! Maybe Xavier needs a gramma hug pillow, too?

that’s a cute idea, but I’m just imagining making a grandpa hug for him & trying to figure out where his mom is going to put a 6.5 foot long pillow

Haha! I forgot to consider just how long of a pillow that could be! More of a body pillow than a lumbar.
