Dear Lacers, I have read, with great interest, all the different types of materials used to stuff lace pillows, both traditional and not.....and thought I would contribute my two cents.
My pillows are stuffed with excelsior. That wood straw that used to be used to pack china. It is fine enough to allow pins, less dusty to work with, clean and holds pins as well as traditional straw without the effort of chopping the straw. I made my first pillow nearly 24 years ago and it is still going strong. If you are interested in making pillows with excelsior you might be able to find it through an upholstery supply. A couple of lacers in my group went together and bought a bale which provided enough to make several pillows. Happy lacing, Judy Aycock in very hot and humid Houston, TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
