Re: [lace] travel pillow

Dear Irene, I had a similar problem with a lace class in Peterborough, England, a few weeks ago, and also the Belgian/Netherlands bonanza in 2018. I ordered an end cut of 3/4 inch 7 wool felt from http://www.thefeltcompany.com/clearance-and-closeouts/ (satisfied customer only) I then cut

Irene, The thinner stuff can bow a bit in the middle, I would go with 1.5" if you can get it. Kim On May 9, 2017 12:37 PM, "Irene & Steve Whitham" wrote: > Hello lacemakers, > > > > I'm thinking ahead to convention in July..I need to take a pillow for > Louise >

Re: [lace] travel pillow

For traveling I use a pillow just big enough for the pattern. The apron contains a stif layer of undercarpet an a softer layer on top to grab the honiton bobbins. Covered on both sides with a cloth to keep it together. Towels, gloves, t-shirts or whatever beneath the apron can adjust the

Hi Irene: The block pillow I am making for IOLI is 1” thick ethafoam; I think it will be fine. I think you will have plenty of room on a 20 x 24” pillow to make Louise’s fan. With the Milanese you keep turning around and going the other direction, so even when you get close to the edge the

Re: [lace] Travel Pillow (how to work one)

I never really liked roller pillows until I was given 2 Swedish ones. These have much wider, sturdier, higher rollers, and also the apron is much wider than my ethafoam roller pillow and my travel pillow. I know use them much more than a block pillow when making yardage. Sue

Great idea Liz, I might have to work on my skills with a roller pillow.I have a small one for my small block pillow but have tried it a couple of times but much prefer the flat blocks, it feels really unnatural to me at the moment.. I have taken that particular pillow with me lots of times

Hi Liz, Your travel pillow sounds great.  Where did you get it--I want one! Nancy Connecticut, USA, where I have phoebes building a nest on the ledge over my front door, cardinals courting in the bush outside my home-office window, and juncos and a mockingbird greeting me on the way from the

Re: [lace] travel pillow on eBay

When I was at Lace Convention in Bristol in April, the lady sitting next to me had a pillow almost identical to this one. The main modification was that her husband had made a tray with a cutout hole to fit over the working surface so that she had more room to work. When she packed it up for

Isn't that the cutest little thing. I have no use for another pillow, but it is tempting, if only as a curiosity. Thanks for sharing the link BarbE - Original Message - From: Weronika Patena To: lace@arachne.com Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 12:09 PM Subject: [lace] travel pillow
