I've been asked this question several times recently. What is a Door Pillow? I've made 100's of them over the years. Cross stitch, embroidery, crayon tinting and of course, my beloved Crazy Quilting.
I thought I would answer this question today and share my thoughts on it.
A Door Pillow is nothing more than a small pillow with ribbons or cording sewn into the top for hanging on a door knob or hook. It's purely decorative and a lovely way to finish and display small needlework pieces without the cost of framing. They can be changed for the holidays and seasons.
Door Pillows are wonderful for gifts because everyone has a door knob! And they're sweet little home accent pieces. Just a nice touch to make a home even more cozy.
They've also been called, door knob pillows, door hanging pillows, door hangers and door knockers. My cousin Kim calls them door knockers! LOL!
These are my latest Door Pillows for St. Patrick's Day:
Door Pillows can also be used to sit on a shelf. The ribbons can be tucked behind the door pillow and displayed on shelf with other decorative items.
I love them and I have dozens of them for the different holidays and seasons. They're easy to store because they're small and because they're made of fabric, they don't break!

They are lovely. I have small gifts from friends hanging from every hook in the house and will start on the door knobs now.
I like the idea of being able to change them out for the seasons or any particular holiday. After looking at all of these I think my favourite is the third one - there's something about the darker fabrics on it that seem to make it pop.
