Houses here are drawn simply: a pitched roof, a chimney, round or square windows and a bright front door. Pair one with a key, a heart or a short line such as "home sweet home" from the word and quote designs to make the message clear.

For a housewarming pillow, embroider the front panel of a cotton or linen cover before you sew it together. Tightly woven cotton canvas takes a tear-away; loose linen needs a cut-away, or a light fusible interfacing first, so the weave does not shift under the fill. A 125 mm house sits nicely in the center of a pillow front, and the 70 mm version fits a cloth napkin or a small zipper pouch for spare keys.

Hoop art makes a quick gift: stitch on linen or cotton, frame it in a wooden display hoop and hang it by the door. Add the family name, the house number or the year they moved in with the monogram maker. These home and house embroidery designs also suit a vacation cabin or a first apartment.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good embroidered housewarming gift?

A pair of guest towels with a key motif, a pillow cover with the family name under a little house, or a framed hoop with the new street name. Start a week ahead, so there is time to wash out marking pen, press everything and wrap it. Polyester thread is the safer choice on towels that will be washed often.

How do I frame machine embroidery in a wooden hoop?

Stitch the design on fabric cut at least 5 cm (2 in) larger than the display hoop on every side, and remove the tear-away. Center the fabric in the display hoop, tighten it drum-tight, then trim the excess to about 3 cm (1 in). Glue the edge to the inner ring on the back and cover it with a circle of felt.
