Good advise as it isn't very wide. I designed this pattern as a square
photoframe for Alice for the Arachne exchange in 2008 I think, and have
since changed it to be this straight strip to try on this pillow. I called
it Alice of course:-) It is working up well and getting me into the swing
of using up the silk threads, finding out all the little things I dont know
yet and even bringing in new threads as I go, at the moment.
We have two of those little glass angels which we bought last december at
our local garden centre which puts up a fabulous christmas display every
year. I bought them because I liked them for our small christmas tree and
when we got them home my DH told me how lovely they would look with some
lace around them, !!! bless him.. LOL. As if I didn't have anything to do
at all. this year I started very early so was all finished during November
and didn't buy anything this year that just needed that extra bit of lace:-)
hense the reason I have time to play and get used to this new pillow I have
only had for 5 or 6 months:-)

It looks like a fairly small roller to me, so definitely try a small
sample of
lots of bobbins first. Looks like a nice pattern to work for demo'ing.
BTW, where did you get the little glass angel that you put the lace skirt
on? I
have not seen those before. I wonder if anyone carries them in the US.

Subject: [lace] Roller pillow and lace
MY DH has taken a photo of the roller pillow (just as I was putting it to
bed
the other evening, so I have uploaded it onto the webshots site in the
hurwitzend album. He was the other side of the pillow, so has the
finished
lace, and the roller. the bobbins are pinned up inside the cover cloth
the
other side of it.
