Fantastic! There are some beauties to enjoy!
Thanks for sharing!
I wish the lace days here were remotely close. Unfortunately, although we
have two lace days a year - one in Gozo and one in Malta - attendance is
nothing like the ones in Spain.

I don't know what went wrong, but the message I sent yesterday arrived without
its text, so all I can do is try again:
I've just received the latest (June/July) Piecework, their annual lace
edition. It contains an interesting article on Bucks point, with a pretty
edging pattern. Also articles
I especially loved the Bucks Point pattern in the magazine because it mentions
in the article that a similar design shows up in Downton lace but with a
different ground (honeycomb instead of point ground) and Downton is one of my
favorite laces. I definitely have that on my wish list once I

Hello Alice and everyone

I do notice that Spanish lacemakers tend to use a completly different sort
of pillow - a sort of very large half-bolster.
Has anyone use one of these? What do you think?
I also noticed in several of the pictures the patterns had a website

Hello Alice and all,
Every year, (in a different city) takes place in Catalonia the Lace Day
Event La Diada de la puntaire that is The lacemakers Great Day. It
is organized by the Catalonian Lace Association-ACP, and this year the
demonstration was the 29nth April in Arenys de Mar, city with
Hi Katelyn,
I'm sure our Spanish lacemakers will join in this discussion. As
a primary user of cookie and Honiton pillows, I have used the Spanish bolster.
I used to demonstrate at a Spanish colonial/territorial living history museum
and made lace on the bolster. There were a few challenges,
I have always found Piecework inspiring. I subscribe and can't seem to find
a reason to stop since every issue is full of something that I can do or get
excited about. I also go crazy for the single special issues Traditions
for knitting (3 or 4 issues already out) and Traditions for crochet which

I LOVE seeing them all.
Smiles and Hugs, BarbE

I think that type of pillow is only used in Spain, though I have made one
for myself (a bit more round though) as I don't like to use the Maltese
bolster at all. Before someone on Arachne mentioned using pillows filled
with polystyrene to stop pillows rolling around, I couldn't bear mine

...Me again!
I'm sure Carolina and Antje, among others, will be able to give more
detailed explanations, but in general, the bolster is used
extensively, although now we are seeing more lace-makers propping a
cookie pillow or a flat block pillow up and working their bobbins
palms up. This
Hi All,
There is a little confusion on the lace issue of Piecework. Mine is
