Re: [lace] survey of storage of lace pillows!!
Well Irene, you asked for it! Three (or four - if a member of the class returns one!) pillows in the boot of the car available for class members to borrow. One travel pillow with a garter in progress. One small travel pillow with the 'Easter Egg' on from one of the German books. One small travel pillow with a (small) Bucks Point motif on it. A large Newnham pillow with a fan on it - not done very much to the fan! A large flat pillow with a mat on it. Pillows not in Use: An unused huge block pillow, flat. A large (24) flat pillow, a hankie just having been finished. A horse-shoe shaped block/roller pillow. A round roller pillow. Several cookie pillows. Most of the pillows are hung on those hangers which fit over a door, and have about four hooks on them. The airing cupboard is in the Lace Place, so the hooks are hung on that, with the pillows over them. (It makes getting out new linen a bit difficult, but I am prepared to live with that...) Most of the ones in use are hanging on hangers on the clothes rail in the wardrobe unit, in their pillow bags - they seem fairly secure, and the bobbins don't come out of the elastic if the bobbins are hanging downwards. But listing them like that does make me think that I will have to curb this urge for more pillows! Carol - in a gloomy Suffolk UK, where we are now having a thunderstorm!

I'm not really sure how many pillows I have. I think maybe 10 or 12. These are mine. DH has 3 or 4 or his own. I do have many of them on a nice rack with a cover. Bought the rack made the cover to keep the cat kids out of the pillows. Pillows are good sleeping places if mom lets them! :) Work in progress in some lace for a new communion ware cover for church and wedding garters for all three grandchildren. Decided to make garters and put them away as the older gkids are in their 20's already. Will probably also make hankies in the future. Also have a dimensional Christmas angel on the travel pillow and a try pillow with a snake on it. Just finished a baby gift of a fleece snuggle and an afgan. Shower was lovely even if I was so full of pain medication I was spacey. (DH says I always am) Have 2 more chemo treatments and hopefully I'm done then.

Re: [lace] survey of storage of lace pillows!!
Hello, I have four pillows, two small, one medium, one large. There is always one in use, and it is on the pillow stand. The others are usually just leaning against the wall, behind the chair that is in front of the pillow stand. I call it my lace corner. On the other hand, I have an army of bobbins, and like to wind them in advance for the next project or two, or five (I'm the one who likes small projects, and lots of tape/braid type laces, so my projects don't take that many pairs). Anyway, I usually have anywhere between 40 and 60 pairs wound, all hanging nicely on their own little stand.

RE: [lace] survey of storage of lace pillows
From: Whitham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] How many lace pillows do you have and how do you store them? Let's see. Many of the pillows are just around here and there with projects (UFOs) awaiting my attention. These include: 1. 24 cookie with Cantu (from a workshop) on the couch 2. Monster all-in-one with floral Bucks (ditto) on floor by couch with its flat cookie insert; the roller and tilted inserts are on the dining room table (does this count as 3 pillows?) 3. large roller with Bucks in color (ditto) on the dining room table 4. 20 cookie with Tonder (ditto) on the lace stand 5. Maltese (never actually used) on dining room chair 6. medium roller with Torchon (for demos) somewhere in the bedroom 7. small bolster with baby lace (ditto) by the bed Other pillows I normally store atop a cabinet. I tie up the bobbins carefully so the pillows can be filed side-by-side, on-end, like books. Normally #6 7 are here, too: 8. French-style travel with Bucks (for demos) 9. 18 octagonal block with Russian spare block for above, with enlarged Honiton 10. 18 cookie currently empty (going to convention) 11. Swiss block currently empty 12. Fold-up travel pillow from SMP currently empty 13. 18 cookie (going to consignment table at convention) 14. 12 cookie (ditto) 15. large bolster (for needlelace) currently empty piece of Styrofoam with chameleon (from workshop--had to free up the 18 cookie) piece of styrofoam with bird (mother's UFO) Let's see, that's 15 pillows, plus two extra inserts for the monster all-in-one, minus two or three going to market, plus three projects on spare pieces And that comes to 11 UFOs (I didn't join that thread).

Re: [lace] survey of storage of lace pillows!!
I have several pillows of ethafoam, covered with navy blue cotton, as well as several blocks and rolls covered. I have them in the basement, under my worktable, and the blocks and rolls in a plastic drawer. The 2 pillows I have(different sizes) have covers on them. Since they're ethafoam, I don't think they're is anything I need to do to preserve them. The rolls are actually pool noodles, covered. I made the larger pillow myself, using a box cutter to shave it to the appropriate size(rounding down the sides) and cutting a square out to fit blocks and a roller, then covering the bottom with fibreboard, covering the pillow with navy cotton, gluing that down, then felt on the bottom. Then I made a cotton cover(same fabric) and used a string to gather it underneath so if I had a project on it, I could cover it up for travelling or what not to keep it all safe. While I would love to have a 'real' lace pillow, I don't make enough lace to warrant the expense, and the ethafoam does the trick. I had bought, about 5 years ago, a 4'x3' piece of ethafoam, of which I still have a lot left. The balance of the foam is in my walk in closet in my bedroom. If there is anyone in Ontario who would like some, let me know, I'd be glad to share it!VBG Karen Ontario, Canada I thought of a new survey, it's of big interest to me as I am wondering myself.

Re: [lace] survey of storage of lace pillows!!
Whne I moved, in 2001, I whittled the pillow population down to nine oops ten, I almost for got the demo pillow that I let people tryat least I think I still have it. Three, soon four, have lace started.one is the Danish with a tiny edging that I cut off one end and add on at the other. This has been going on for several years. ...(I took the Frosty Edge that is in Dori sSouthards book, drafted it down to 20/1 graph. Very pretty and great for trims little gifties items and miniatures). Other pillows go from a 15 sectional that I made (also made and 18 and 21 sectional) There are 2- 18 rnd straw, 2 -24..one straw and one foam. A Christina tops the list. The three sectionals are stacked under a cupboard.. handy. The others are in covers and shelved in the corners of the shelves in my craft closet. My dream craft closet that appeared, as a consolation, when thrown into living alone, Lo! those many years ago.

Re: [lace] survey of storage of lace pillows!!
Hi everyone and Irene (fun topic!) My various (= 14, almost all I have made myself) at-rest or empty pillows are tucked in spaces in my workroom. My pillows with work-in-progress are placed in the way, where I'll remember to work on them. At present there are two with w.i.p., a honiton pillow (that I made) and a small cookie which will soon be the test for a design I'm configuring from a graphic design I noticed on an industrial pamphlet (it was for a sludge extractor...)(oops different topic). The location of the pillow with w.i.p. varies, as I must have the pillow where I can stand up to work on it, near the best available natural light, or the floor-lamp Ott-lite, and on a surface where the required toys, I mean tools (no...I mean (*toys*) can be kept at hand, depending on the project. Then if some other lace design is more urgent, the one with w.i.p. is covered, and tucked away in the workroom where it can remain undisturbed until I remember it again. It really isn't a workroom, but a storeroom of works-in-progress, LOL! I did find that empty pillows are ok to stack on top of each other as long as you can wedge them where the pillow tower won't fall on you when you're rustling around looking for something else. My favourite way of storage is to hang them each in their own carry bag - except I've only made two carry bags so far - but in a carry bag they can be hung temporarily on a chair, or more permanently in a clothes closet on a coat hanger. bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
