Susan,I have not used a bolster pillow but many of my friends do. What they made was a strip of ribbon with large pearl beads sewn on, or a crochet strip, similar to what some use to hold bobbins when packing up the pillow, but at regular close intervals they attached a large round bead. The strips go around the outer edges of the bolster and as you work through the bobbins, the used ones are placed behind the beads out of the way. It is easy to lift them back up when you need them again. Wish I had a photo to show you, hard to explain in words. Looks pretty on the pillow. I have also seen wire that is coiled, similar to the old telephone cords we used to have on the kitchen wall phone, and fastened around the sides of the bolster and you place the thread leads over a coil. Love the Christmas ornament.Janice Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, jblace.com
