Re: [lace] From a newbie to lace.....
Unfortunately the lacemaking world is not large enough for the big publishers to consider it worthwhile to keep these books in print. However, Batsford do seem to be re issuing quite a few recently and commissioning new ones, so maybe they have got the hint. I bought my issue of that Tonder book only a few years ago for £12.50 second hand but in Mint condition from a book dealer. I think perhaps the purchaser of this book on ebay must have either been; a, really desperate to have that book b, have more money than they know what to do with c,not got the time or inclination to look further afield for the title. Please don't be discouraged, there are a lot of books available,out there.

[lace] From a newbie to lace ......
Some of the older books are now considered so old-fashioned that they wouldn't be reprinted, others are classics and do get reprinted. In the Uk the main publisher is Batsford (now under the umbrella oc Chrysalis Books): http://www.chrysalisbooks.co.uk/category/lace/index.jsp Secondhand books can often be tracked down through Abebooks: http://www.abebooks.com - better to deal through the actual sellers than through the site. Local secondhand bookshops, charity shops and well-known secondhand dealers like Todmorton Books are also worth a look. Ebay can be a good source - books on there seem to go in fashions and if you're patient and wait until no-one else is interested, you can often pick up a book for a few pounds/dollars even with the postage added. I got a copy of Underwood's Bedfordshire lace book for a friend for GBP4.00 when only a couple of weeks previously it had been selling for more than GBP12.00. A couple of Arachne members have done brief reviews of books on their web sites so you can get an idea of what they're about and what someone else thinks.

RE: [lace] pillow bag
Hi Jenny ! Last year I made a quilted bag for a big pillow that I did not want to turn on its end. I liked it so much I made another!! The pattern is called the Fat Quarter Bag and it's in a book of fat quarter designs by M'Liss Rae Hawley entitled Fat Quarter Quilts, ISBN 1564772691. I highly recommend it. The bag is simply a patchwork of six fat quarters which have been joined together into a large rectangle. I put some batting in the center of the rectangle before I added the lining. Strips of wide elastic are inserted into channels on the two long sides, and draw-string handles are inserted into the channels on the other two sides. I expect it's difficult to visualize this and make it based on my description, but I just want you to know how simple it is, AND that the bag is perfect for carrying a large pillow (20 - 24) flat. The edges of the bag cover the top and it is nicely protected. The pillow is also very easy to put in and take out, thanks to that elastic. I just checked Amazon.com and the book is still in print and available.

RE: [lace] pillow bag
Greetings from Down Under, A couple of years ago I made a pillow bag for a large square pillow I have for working Eeva-Liisa's pictures. Because of the size and weight of the base, I used denim, two layers with pellon (lightest weight wadding) in between. The sides of the pillow bag and the handles were bound with left over strips from quilting projects. I started with a long piece (with the pellon between two pieces of fabric) which was a couple of inches more than twice the length of the pillow, and an inch or two wider. I sewed two flaps on one half which tie with ribbon across the pillow with bobbins and pins in place. When the other half is folded on top of the pillow, there are large buttons down the sides and across the top. The handles (also made with strips of light denim with pellon between) made a large circle before being attached to the bag - to add reinforcement because of the weight of the pillow/base as well as to have something to carry it with. One side has the most wonderful black and white cow machine embroidered on it and the other a sign which says If the kitchen is unattended, try the sewing room. I am sure the idea could be adapted for a smaller pillow. If I make another I will make the handles longer so they could be used over the shoulder.

[...] If I make another I will make the handles longer so they could be used over the shoulder. I've been printing out all of the instructions as fast as they've been coming in (Clay's BarbETex's, Mary's) but I also have a question. I have a bag for my round cookie 24 (home made) and one for my square 24 block (bought in Denmark), but both are standard, vertical-carry. The home made bag for the round pillow offers better access (a long zipper down one side which, in addition to the top opening makes it easier to slide the pillow in), but both are big enough to let me stick the dis-assembled table (or most of it) into them as well as the pillow, bobbins, my tool box, any printed material needed for the class etc (the home made has two pockets, the bought one one pocket). So, they work out fine. But, because of the weight, and because I was at the end of the line when God doled out height, the only way I can carry them is over the shoulder -- there's precisely 24 between my handgrip and the ground :) I can see the advantage of carrying a pillow horizontally, especially once the project is on it - there's no gravity pulling at the bobbins (when using my vertical-carry bags, I secure the bobbins with a bit of give, to counteract it). And, if the length of handles was adjusted just so, and the pillow supported by the hip (like a baby), I might even be able to stabilize it at the other end with my fingers, if not very comfortably (I'm a living proof of Darwinian's theory of the origin of humans - my arms are long enough to be the envy of any monkey g)... But... How does one negotiate doors (never mind crowded elevators) with a horizontal-carry bag, if using a large pillow??? I suppose, for a door, one could swing it to the front of oneself (though, some doors, esp the swing doors in hotels... you'd have someone else holding it wide-open for you)... -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [lace] Re: pillow bag
Also 'vertically' challeneged, I struggled with the pillow bag over a shoulder until problems with my shoulders made that impossible. I resorted to strapping the bag on to a folding wheeled 'trolley base' - the sort that was used for a suitcase before suitcases came with built-in wheels. Because of the suitcase-depth base there is room also for a folding pillow stand. The trolley is self-standing, and folds to fit under a table when demonstrating. It was so convenient to use that I still use it, even though my shoulders have recovered.
