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 Louise of Woodsholme. Inspired by the embroidered slips she saw at Traquair House in Scotland, and the Oxburgh Hangings at Hardwicke, Louise designed the embroidery patterns. The pillows are stuffed with kapok fiber; Astra gathered the fiber, constructed the inner container, and stuffed it. After the inner pillow was complete, Louise mounted the slips and couched metallic cord around them. Morgan of Amberwood constructed boxes to contain the new pillows, and they were presented to the Crown at ______(event needed).
