Hi everyone and Jenny Now this is an excellent idea, for those working long edgings on a cookie pillow - what a savings in 'moving-up' time!
If all my pillows have projects on them and I need another to make a quick sample, I put a couple of layers of craft foam on a thick towel and pin foam, towel and all, over a cookie pillow with work in progress, with the pins of the lace in progress pushed in. I have made cookie pillows from foam bedroll for camping, with a round of plywood for the base, cut decreasing circles of the foam, starting with the largest that would be about an inch over the perimeter of the plywood (to allow for the eventual dome shape). Pile them smallest to largest, and take a square of sturdy cotton fabric for the pillow cover, staple it firmly to the plywood on the bottom. Adjust and embellish as desired :) On Feb 18, 2008 8:05 AM, Jenny De Angelis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Something else that the lacemakers here use.
