Is the ladybug on the rose leaf, and eating it away, just leaving a skeleton of veins? It is hard to see, as I could not get the picture to enlarge. Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace

That quite often happens with bulk postings, it does with 'Lace' from the The Lace Guild and the family history journals which I receive. It's because the overseas envelopes go airmail (which usually takes about a week) whilst the UK envelopes go by the cheapest method which equates to 3rd

My wonderful horizontally oriented pillow bag has handles that allow me to hold it in one hand and not do a balancing act with a hip or any other body part. But that does not mean that it's easy to be graceful while negotiating doors! I try to keep one hand free so I can open a door and then use

The handles are usually just a bit of dowel or even a posh bit of timber which is fed into the entire edge of the outside of the last 2 arms and they have a D shaped cut out of the fabric so you can grasp the handle. Fran in Australia Another way to finish the two arms that become the

First of all, enthusiastic thanks to everyone who has posted ideas about different styles of pillow bags that we can make. Robin, great drawing. It came through perfectly for me. About your question on whether the two flaps that fold over really hold the pillow, I should think a couple of lengths

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] How well does the dowel stay in place when you're not carrying the pillow? Well, you could probably put something like a big wooden bead or rubber leg-protectors on the ends of the dowel. Something to make the tips just a bit thicker than the shaft, but still fit

Hi Lorri and all, There is an article by Mary Dwyer in the Nov./Dec. 1993 issue of Piecework magazine. It's called Native American Laces and is about Sybil Carter's efforts teaching lace making to various Indian tribes. The article says from New York to California so presumably Minnesota might

I copied the picture to my files and then enlarged, but of course it was so compressed it didn't give me any more definition than the small picture. BUT... my first reaction was that of course that's where the ladybug was... I spotted it there and did not even question it, since they make such

Hello Gentle Spiders, My favourite carry bag is a simple piece of fabric cut about 6 inches - 15 cm larger than the pillow base and hemmed all around to take a piece of strong elastic. Takes up no room when removed - as no padding. I can put it over my pillow while the pillow is still on its
