[lace] Travel Pillow etc.

I have had a similar problem of needing a pillow at Conventions, -m and have taken up the Host’s $5 offer of a foam block. I made a slightly raised fabric cover – with a variety of sized felt pieces stitched to the centre of a large square of fabric, that , when pinned on the block gave me a

Hi Irene,For the past few years I have purchased the 24" square builder foam that is available from the IOLI convention co-hosts.  I take along a 42" square of fabric that I use to cover the pad, just pinning it in place for the week.  At the end of the classes, I use a serrated knife, that I

Dear Irene, I had a similar problem with a lace class in Peterborough, England, a few weeks ago, and also the Belgian/Netherlands bonanza in 2018. I ordered an end cut of 3/4 inch 7 wool felt from http://www.thefeltcompany.com/clearance-and-closeouts/ (satisfied customer only) I then cut

Irene, The thinner stuff can bow a bit in the middle, I would go with 1.5" if you can get it. Kim On May 9, 2017 12:37 PM, "Irene & Steve Whitham" wrote: > Hello lacemakers, > > > > I'm thinking ahead to convention in July..I need to take a pillow for > Louise >

Re: [lace] travel pillow

For traveling I use a pillow just big enough for the pattern. The apron contains a stif layer of undercarpet an a softer layer on top to grab the honiton bobbins. Covered on both sides with a cloth to keep it together. Towels, gloves, t-shirts or whatever beneath the apron can adjust the

Re: [lace] travel pillow

Hi Irene: The block pillow I am making for IOLI is 1” thick ethafoam; I think it will be fine. I think you will have plenty of room on a 20 x 24” pillow to make Louise’s fan. With the Milanese you keep turning around and going the other direction, so even when you get close to the edge the

Hello lacemakers, I'm thinking ahead to convention in July..I need to take a pillow for Louise Colgan's fan class. I like a big area to work on.. I'm thinking about making an ethafoam pillow to fit the complete base of my suitcase which will be about 20 x 24 inches. Would 1 inch thick

Sue, I have had a look at the photo of your travel pillow. The first thing I noticed is that the little pouch on the back flap seems to me to be set at the wrong angle - facing the wrong way. On my travel pillow the pouch opens towards the roller, so the lace comes off the roller and feeds into

Re: [lace] Travel Pillow (how to work one)

I never really liked roller pillows until I was given 2 Swedish ones. These have much wider, sturdier, higher rollers, and also the apron is much wider than my ethafoam roller pillow and my travel pillow. I know use them much more than a block pillow when making yardage. Sue

Great idea Liz, I might have to work on my skills with a roller pillow.I have a small one for my small block pillow but have tried it a couple of times but much prefer the flat blocks, it feels really unnatural to me at the moment.. I have taken that particular pillow with me lots of times

Beth, Wouldn't it be easier for you to reduce a photocopy of the pillow, and just have the instructions to photocopy a +?% rather than hand drawing it out? Alternatively, draw the pieces, with dimentions, and folks can then do it themselves. It sounds as if you have gone to a great deal of

Hi, I had a look at Theo Brejaart's web page and had a look at the Finish pillow. There is a lacemaker in Washington State who makes something similar. I have seen her pillows while at the lace convention in Victoria. Her name is Marj. More than that I don't know. She shared a cluster with me.
