Thank you all so much for all the information about how you made up roller
pillows.
I am going to put all the info onto one word doc so I can print them out and
read through and see what works best. I think I am going to try to cover the
current new one a bit to protect is as much as I can but
If you decide to use this kind of padding, shop carefully! Some felt
padding these days has rough bits in it that would definitely stop a
pin. Another no-no would be the non-slip coating they sometimes spray
on the back. If you're going to use padding, be sure it's clean
fibers/felt, with
I like the idea of these pillows. One at least tones the hips and thighs a
bit, rather than passively sitting (and bending over the pillow).
Does anyone
know how these pillows are made?

David, my hair is shoulder length, so I am staying out of your way.
Too many memories of my mother plaiting fours girls' hair before going to
school.
If you were unfortunate and the last of the four, she'd had just about
enough of the job and would plait
in a frenzy.

Sorry for those memories but with 3 sisters, that was one of MY jobs
before going to school. I recall having water in an old white and
blue enamel jug and had to keep dipping the brush. Then Mum would
always inspect afterwards to make sure I'd done the plaiting tight enough!!
What do you think the ratio is for needlework to
exercise to keep fit, as
the needlework is addicting, but the housework or

I can relate to that! My mom used to braid my sister's and my hair before
school. If she was in a hurry, it could get pretty tight. It could make my
scalp sting for a long time afterwards.
The information on making your own roller pillow is very timely for me. I

Read the posts about storing used prickings. Lots of good information.

Peg,
A suggestion re using pens, etc., may I suggest you invest in some lignin
free pens. You can get them in the scrapbook section of Michaels or Hobby
Lobby. They work great have no acid properties on them as regular pens
