>>>Ruth - can you tell me where you bought the ethafoam from and if they sell overseas by mail order. I have been unsuccessfully trying to purchase ethafoam in Malta but few, if any, know about it yet and it doesn't seem to<<<
There's a mail-order lace supplier in the US called Snowgoose. They have a website, but I don't know the URL--I'm sure you can google it. They sell the "Everything Pillow", which is a kit. It comes with an Ethafoam circle (the outer rim nicely rounded) with a rectangle cut out of the center, cardboard to glue to the bottom of the circle, foam-core pieces to line the center hole (so it's very smooth), and Ethafoam blocks--I think it's 3 squares plus 4 narrow rectangles, and a cylinder. The hole in the center takes two squares, or one square and two rectangles, or 4 rectangles, or the cylinder plus whichever square/rectangle combination will fill the hole. The cylinder makes it useable as a roller pillow and the squares/rectangles for a block pillow. You have to cover it yourself, and glue the foamcore and cardboard in place, but it's really cheap by US pillow standards--around USD-30 (may have gone up since I got mine). I'm very happy with mine, and I know a lot of othe r happy customers, too. I covered my blocks by a combination of methods. I wrapped the fabric around and sewed the long part shut. I put that seam at a corner/edge, not in the middle of any face of the block. Then I folded the flaps on the ends and pinned those. I glued the fabric around the outside of the cylinder, but used ribbon and pins around the base (over the fabric) and around the box. Robin P.
