Good evening. The list has been very quiet the last few days so after a conversation with my husband this evening discussing roller pillows, I thought I'd ask the list for input. I have a roller pillow that I made 11 years or so ago using Doris Southard's pattern. It's been a nice pillow to work on but I've figured out a few things I'd like to change. One being I'd prefer a cut out in the back of the pillow for the roller to sit in as opposed to the box it sits in now. The second, I'd like a different way to secure the roller. I have a hole cut out in the back of the wooden box to place a long hat pin through and into the roller but it is covered by the padding. Not always easy to find if the pin gets taken completely out. I've at times resorted to using a length of braid that I pin to the pillow and then to the roller. I'm looking at a more permanent way to secure the roller similar to that used on a weaving loom with a cogged wheel but can't figure what or where I'd place something to hold each notch. Are there any good plans for making such a roller pillow? I've not found any in my searches on Google. Or are there some good photos of a roller pillow with such a feature? I've found photos of Simon Toustou's lovely pillows but can't tell if one of the ends of the roller is notched or not. I have a husband who enjoys and is good at woodworking who currently has space with a workshop set up and the time to play. It's a win-win situation if he's gets to play with his wood and tools and I get a new pillow. :-) Dona Bushong in Groton, CT where it's turned quite cool tonight.
