I stuffed it really tight and sewn up the opening. Double sewn it so it wouldn't accidentally come undone or rip. And here is my new Honiton pillow http://tat-man.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_5094.jpg I also made 3 cover cloths(as directed in the book by Elsie Luxton) and a bobbin roll cover. I was anxious to get started, so last night I prepared the pricking of the first lesson in her "Techniques of Honiton Lace" of the three leaf sprig. Here you see I have worked a few passes with 15 pairs. Have one more pair to introduce and then continue. http://tat-man.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_5412.jpg A closer view of the work http://tat-man.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_5413.jpg What is nice is the pillow is surprisingly light weight and I have a fairly long lap that I won't be lacing up close to my chest. It is a good distance for lacing. Can't do that with most of my other pillows. Of course I would want it close to my sight since the lacework is so tiny!! ;) -- - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
