Very, very lucky - not only could this have caused a fire in which
possessions other than the lace itself to be lost - and perhaps lives -
but polystyrene, as I'm sure Alex knows, gives off toxic fumes when it
burns, so just by smouldering it could have caused damage to health as
well as putting a hole in the pillow and pricking.
We have in the past had warnings about not keeping polystyrene pillows
near ANY heat source, be it an open fire or a central heating radiator,
and to be careful about removing or covering magnifiers when a pillow is
left.
Please be careful - your life is worth far more than the lace!
It might be useful, even life-saving, to include this tale in the
introduction, Alex?

So please take care when making lace in front of an
open wood fire.
Am I disaster prone?
