Physical Description
Ecru linen cushion with a 5cm attached ruffle. On left side is stitched in red 'MAY 25th, 1950'. The names are stitched in a variety of colours.
Theme and Purpose
Commemorative. The cushion was started by the current owner’s grandmother, Gertrude Traeger (nee Noll) with many signatures of family and friends collected at her daughter's (the owner's mother) 21st birthday party on 25 May 1950. Many refugees were housed at the back of their property and the cushion started as a record of them. The daughter of the women who started the cushion met and married one of these refugees.
