Dear Annette, possibly the best way to get a bolster pillow is to make one. Sew a big kit bag shaped bag and fill it with hay or straw from a pet shop. Thump it, jump on it and add some more filling. Continue till it is as hard as you can get it. A rolling pin used to be recommended and then sew up the end with strong linen twine. It is a job to do in the garden as it is a bit messy and in the Spring the birds collect the loose bits of straw. When I started making lace we had to make our own pillows and whittle our bobbins as we weren't in the East Midlands. Then I discovered Braggins of Bedford and was the first person in my class to have real plastic bobbins! Alternatively we might have one for sale at The Guild that we have been given and is surplus to requirements. We also occasionally have horses as well. One of the advantages of coming to The Convention is that there is the 50/50 stall and our Collections sale which often contain items like these. I think we had two horses of different types in Llandudno. Best wishes from Ann , (who is hoping it gets cool enough to need a sheet to sleep under tonight(.
