Prior to the construction of these pillows, there were a variety of cushions, pads, and soft things laid before the Thrones. Noting the generally shabby condition of these pillows, the Order of the Laurel agreed to sponsor the construction of new kneeling pillows.
The Pillow Project began in late 1988, directed by Mistress Louise of Woodsholme. Inspired by the embroidered slips she studied at Traquair House in Scotland, and the Oxburgh Hangings, worked by Mary Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwicke, Louise designed the embroidery patterns.
Mistress Astra Christiana Benedict gathered the fiber, constructed the inner container, and stuffed it with kapok. The slips are worked in 6-strand DMC cotton threads on 18-count needlepoint mesh. After the inner pillow was complete, Mistress Louise mounted the slips and couched metallic cord around them. Master Morgan Arthur ap Llewellyn constructed boxes to contain the new pillows, which were presented to the Crown at ______(event needed).
