HI Susan and everyone
My free advice is ... don't. Paste a colour photocopy of the lace to
the card, or compose a picture with the lace that you print yourself,
adjust/trim to postcard size.
Send your real lace inside an envelope ;)

It sounds like you will have to find a way to move the bobbins that
suits you best. Continental bobbins on a bolster ('rolle') pillow are
worked 'palms up' - they hang from the pillow and you can place your
hand under the pairs. Continentals on the cookie pillow will

I use the square bobbins because it eliminates the rolling around on the
pillow. Also, when they are pushed aside as a group, they don't roll. You
still can flick them over each other with your finger tips. The midland
type really aggravate the arthritis in my thumbs so I can't use them at all
Anything stuck to the outside of a piece of mail is subject to
whatever processes the piece goes through - there is the chance card
and lace will get mangled or smeared along the way, especially in

David,
I so agree with Diane, even more now that you've told us the story of
the
sweater. (What a great picture.) You are a very talented, accomplished
person.
Thank you indeed for sharing the story of your life with us--it
makes so many
things more meaning-full, not just the scarf.
