I have 2 large Straw-filled cookie pillows - 24inch diameter. (A couple of hours of "blood, sweat, and tears" to make each one, but they will last forever!). I also have a beaut 18inch Horsehair cookie pillow, a single sided Honiton pillow, a small Travel pillow, a larger roller pillow ( thick felt on a rolling pin, and mounted in a box, with a foam cushion cut to make the "rest".), and a 10 inch square pillow, that fits into a polystyrene "rest". This pillow is made from 2 thick felt pads, each about an inch deep, so it is a 2 inch deep pillow. The felt pads were from underneath old manual typewriters. - Remember them???!!! They make beaut pillows, and pins sit well in them, as the felt is so dense. My big roller is made from the the same felt. I have a couple of Polystyrene foam squares made into pillows for demonstrations. - Good enough for the "bandage" in coloured threads, and for folks to have a few minutes trial. They are kept stacked against the wall in the "sewing room" between the wall and the sewing table.
To Helen in Denver - perhaps you should lend your "empty" pillow to your darling little daughter, and keep her interested in the craft! The pricking could be offset towards the front, if the pillow is a bit big for her. ( I may have to think about buying her a pillow of her own for Xmas!!!!!!) And Yes, I Know - one of the Straw pillows was made for you, many years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)) You will have to come and get it, if you want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)) :)) from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
