Jean Nathan - regarding your "new" hex pillow - I get a thrill out of taking something a little past its prime and fixing it like new. It sounds like you got a nice treat from an old treasure. I wouldn't have thought of shaving the bumpy stuff down. I did put layers of wool over older pillows to get a sturdier anchor for the pins.

Lace content: I acquired a very large, old, lumpy, polystyrene, largehexagonal pillow at a cost of almost nothing. It was rejected by others asbeing "past it". I took the cotton cover off, sanded the worst of the lumpsoff, put a piece of thick wool coating material from my fabric stash on topand replaced the cotton cover. I now have an almost new-feeling hexagonalpillow. I've now just got to grow my arms long enough to reach to the far sideof it.Jean Nathan in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
