Many years ago, my lace group (the Lost Art Lacers, in NJ, USA) held a "theme pillow contest." [...]
My entry was a "pun pillow," which was not just a cookie pillow, but a *chocolate-chip* cookie pillow; with bobbins ranging from a "bobbin-shop quartet" to a "worker pear."
[...] the pricking I made was a small rectangle with 11 pin-holes pricked about 3/8-inch apart, and the instructions to the lace-maker, written along one side, reading "10 petals, repeat 4 times." [...]
All together, they were "Ali Bobbin and the Forty Leaves."
Good grief! And here was I, in Virginia all that time, missing all the fun, and thinking Americans had no sense of humour...
