Yes, a bit of everything can be found everywhere. Bolster pillows in UK or USA, flat pillows in Denmark, and so forth. I was speaking in very general terms in my previous message.
Modern lacemakers are not restricted to one type of lace, one type of pillow, one style of bobbins, only one way to make lace. We have a grand time trying out different laces and etc, and often ending up with quite a collection of lace tools and books. Sometimes the tools are as much fun as the lace itself. But that same variety of tools allows us to try many different styles of lace. Some people stay with one or two styles of lace and are very happy. Some people keep only one pillow, and just **have** to finish each project before they can start a new one. Some people dabble in this and that, and before they know it -- 6 or 8 or 10 different projects are in progress, each with their style of pillow and bobbins. The main thing is......ENJOY your lace. Use the tools you have available, and just do it. Celebrate the differences. Lacemaking is additive and infectious. Find a friend and make lace together. Do it in public, and gain another friend. Sharing your fun only makes it better. (Obviously, I'm very addicted.) <G> Happy lacing, Alice in Oregon -- where I have Finished my table ribbon!!
