I just received a copy of "Improvements" catalog and on the back cover is a picture of a "heavy duty wreath storage bag". It says it's made of heavy duty polyester which is waterproof and tearproof. It has a full-circle zipper and carry handles. You can see a picture here: http://www.improvementscatalog.com/Parent.asp?product=301692x&dept%5Fid=1 Has anyone seen or used one of these? I wonder if they would hold up to fairly regular use? They are not expensive at all. I know several years ago, many of the US stores were selling hard-sided wreath cases that lacemakers were using to store their pillows. I didn't get any of those as we were living in Guam at the time and they weren't available to me. And I'm looking more for transporting as opposed to storing pillows since I have a nice lace pillow stand. I have had the great pleasure of meeting weekly with a local lacemaking group here in Belgium, located in the town of Ath. Many of the ladies carry a bag similar to this although none are this thick at 7inches. When I inquired where they had purchased them the answer was the local fishing store! They are bags made for fishing nets. I've not yet had the chance to get by the fishing shop, so I have no idea of price comparison but I wondered if this wreath bag would be similar. It would be nice to have a more secure way to transport my lace pillow back and forth to lace classes. The waterproof aspect is nice too.
