It can be a little sobering to do one of these, and discover how many pillows you really have...
Most of my lace pillows live in a small closet in our guest bedroom. Some are on shelves, and some are in their carrying bags, hanging from hooks on a low rod. Two stay on stands in or near the living room. Okay, here's the inventory: 1. Travel pillow with blocks and optional roller 2. 24" Belgian seagrass pillow (which has been my favorite cookie pillow) 3. 20" straw cookie pillow (good, but I'm a little allergic to this one, so it doesn't get much use) 4. Cookie pillow that was designed for metal lacemaking that I haven't yet tried 5. Small ethafoam block pillow from Biggins 6&7. 2 student pillows (unused, to be sold) 8. Block pillow made by a friend, yet to be tried 9. A "Simon Toustou" large roller pillow, reserved for lengths, which I don't often make, but it's an excellent pillow, and a beautiful thing to boot 10. 16" "Simon Toustou" cookie pillow - handy for small motifs 11. Most-used block pillow that I purchased years ago from Holly Van Sciver, that are no longer made (a very sad thing, it is an excellent pillow) - this is the one that I use most, and travels to Brugge with me when I attend classes at the Kantcentrum. It sits in the living room on a handsome lace stand from Cathy Belleville, and has Binche in process at all times. I have extra blocks that have set-aside Binche pieces on them too... 12. A new (and now greatly cherished) "Simon Toustou" 22" cookie pillow with drawers, which is sitting on my large lacemaking stand, with a butterfly from Manuela Beck's "Bright and Flighty" in process Whew! And it's humbling to think that I really only use two of them actively. Ah, to have more time to make lace!
