I'm thinking of making a bolster pillow and have lots of questions. I'd welcome some input as to pros and cons of working with a bolster pillow before I commit to this project. What size bolster is good for your lap, rather than a stand or table?
I like my Puerto Rican Travel pillow, but it is a bit small. With typical newbie enthusiasm, I started a lace edging that has far too many pairs for the size of the bolster. The bobbins get so twisted I spend more time fiddling than lacing. I like having the pillow on my lap, though. It's easier for me to work that way. I checked on lacefairy.com, and she suggests filling the bolster with sawdust. My husband has a full bucket of sawdust downstairs, and I could sift it and have a huge pillow. Wouldn't a pillow of sawdust be rather heavy? But what started me thinking about making a lace pillow is the 4 bales of straw sitting in my driveway. My husband got the straw from a co-worker and he intends to mulch the garden with it. I haven't looked at it, and I don't know what kind of straw it is or how to decide if it can be used in a pillow. Thanks for all your help!
