>>>>>>>Diane mentioned using a large square with knotted corners for carrying pillows around
I think this is what Mum first used when she started going to BL classes in Oz in the mid 70's, before she made a bag for her pillow.<<<<< Yes, and I soon made a proper bag!!! :) I was going to a demonstration, and we had a station wagon at that time, with the back window that wound down, before opening the tail gate. The pillow was tied into an old tablecloth, and as I lifted it out through the window of the car, I caught the leading edge of the pillow on the closed tail gate. Over it went, - upside down on the dirty road. -- and, of course, I had Not pinned down the bobbins, had I?!!! It took the whole couple of hours I was supposed to be demonstrating to untangle them all!!! Luckily there were other lacemakers there, to show people how it lace is Really made.!!! So I learned a Big lesson that day, - pin down the bobbins, - and make a proper bag to carry it all in!!!!!
