This is my contribution to the survey: > >>>How many lace pillows do you have...?<<< Well, I am afraid I cannot compete with Robin here. I am far below her "posessions". Anyway, here is what I have: -1 long traditional Spanish straw pillow (from Catalu�a, filled with long rye straw), with a typical edging from the north of Spain, from Camari�as, (with leaves, braids and roseground), for a rectangular doily for a friend (half of it already made). -1 selfmade long Spanish straw pillow, also with a Spanish edging, this one from Huelva in the South. It is called the "pansy of Jabugo". A mixture or torchon and a kind of Bucks flower edge. It is not progressing easily. I am having problems in finding out how to make a flower in the border. Here we have no diagrams and have to find out how to work it looking at pictures of the finished work. - 1 cookie pillow (55cm diameter) filled with straw which I have lent to a friend. This is the most difficult one to store, so, lending it is a good solution if you are not using it. - 1 cookie pillow (40 cm), on top of books on a shelve, with a Milanese pattern. - 1 small Danish pillow with a narrow Tonder edging. - 1 small roller pillow with a Beds edging (I haven't touched it since last year in a laceday) - 1 big roller pillow with an edging which I got in �vila, city of St. Teresa de Jes�s, and the edging is called after her. It is not probable that she made it herself, but it was amongst her belongings; perhaps it belonged to her mother...
>>>how do you store your lace pillows?<<< I don't have a specific place to store my pillows either. They are distributed among different places, in different rooms, some of them on a piece of furniture, others between a wall and a cupboard, others in a corner of the room on the floor... I try to keep them out of a possible accidental fall caused by a visitor or a family member. Soon I will have a new pillow, because I am going to make a bolster pillow to make a pattern from Carolin'a book on it. Though I am still trying to plan how to fill it with straw and keep the roller in the center.... if anyone has made a bolster filled with straw, please would you mind giving me some advice? Have a very nice summer lacing or whatever.
