Thank-you all for your great comments re: straw-filled pillows. I got some

After a multi-year break from lacemaking and this list, life has returned
me back to both these happy places. It's marvellous to be back and I have
to say it's a lot like coming home. I didn't realize how much I'd missed
my bobbins.

Greetings from a new subscriber -- with a query.
I'm about to begin a pattern from "Modèles de Dentelles au Fuseau Cluny"
by Mick Fouriscot and Mylène Salvador; "Fougères Bordure" on page 16 to
