Thank you everybody who gave me hints and tips on my Beds lace. I do
appreciate it, and am even more convinced of what a great group this is!
Thank you all so much again.

I do it this way too - with a slight modification because I found the
resulting, joined trail too thick. I gradually throw out every

Palliser. If you do not have a copy write back and I'll send a scan of the

Several years ago the THUMB PINCUSHIONS ( not the bottle cap ones), the other

I've seen large heart pincushions (and I use one) - perhaps these 'thumbs'
are a smaller version - take a square of fabric, fold diagonally right sides
together and stitch the two open sides, leaving an opening for stuffing.
Turn rightside out. Fill this triangle and slip-stitch the opening shut,

It's just a square of fabric, about 4 on a side. The exact
measurement isn't critical.
