I have always wanted some of these fancy pillow stands that some of the vendors make and that all of you are talking about. Ken van Dieren's work being one of them ;) Just isn't in my budget to do so. I do have the tools and know how to make my own. I am a woodworker among other hobbies. But just haven't made the time to make my own. So being the thrifty person I am and we go garage sale(tag sale) hunting, I have found a couple of items to repurpose into pillow stands. One is a cute spindle style plant stand. I had to sit at a chair to test out the height before I bought it. But I noticed it right away as a solution to make into a pillow stand. I use it for my Honiton pillow. My other garage sale find was an "under the bed" table stand. The kind where the feet slide under the bed and the table top slides over your legs so you have a work space while sitting up in bed. Again, I tested for height. This under-the-bed table is the one I like most. I face the end of the table toward me and rest my feet on its flat feet to stabilize. You can prop the back of the table area to tilt the pillow. But I mostly work my roller pillow on it or my cookie pillows are slightly domed so I don't have to do that.
Keep your eyes out for items to repurpose as pillow stands. It is a fun challenge. :) -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TatmanBobbin - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
