Hi everyone and Peter Yes, I think your idea of making the motifs first then joining on the cookie pillow is a good one - if your honiton pillow is all the "round" you could use it like a huge roller, too, and make your border continuous. I have read that honiton workers could have a piece on the top, and one 'in progress' or in waiting, on the other side of the pillow, it would seem they made use of all the surface. I haven't tested this myself ;) If your border has corners, you could also use the whole pillow, turning it as necessary, but you might need to construct a bigger one than 14" ? Plus you would need to have a system to keep the finished lace covered and the coverings in place as the pillow ball is turned, to protect the lace.
Let us know how it goes. bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
