You have my sympathy as I have had upended pillows a couple of times now -
once the cats were at fault (they knocked over the whole table p laying a wild
game of chase around the house) and once it was the fault of my cleaner's

Our local quilting shop in Illinois recommends the Stella Lamp, which I

It looked impressive, but I wasn't in the market for a new lamp, being very
satisfied with my existing one.

Creating a website to display our interpretations would be so clever - and we

Arachne 20 years - a Stuart Johnson bobbin please, I have a cupboard of cover
cloths and I can only use one decorative one at a time.
Wow! Alex, I'm impressed - I presume only one decorative one means you have
only one pillow on the go at any one time!!

I like the idea of a cover cloth for the 20th anniversary. I do have more

commemorative one would be really nice

Ou t of curiosity (as I live in America and have no tech nical knowledge to
add to washing lace), I looked to see what these balls are! Their
ingredients are listed as follows:
Ecozone Ecoballs
Sodium alpha olefin sulphonate 37%, laureth-9 14.50%, sodium metasilicate 11%,
sodium carbonate
Thank you for that.Â
I wondered how the centres were worked, but hadn't enlarged the feathers
enough to see. Needle lace would be an easy way to produce the coloured effect
one wanted.

Wh at about stretching it into shape on the kitcehn counter (cleaned
first!)? Would that be long enough for you? Generally I find that if I pat
the lace into shape while it is wet and leave it to dry on a clean, flat
surface, it keeps it's shape well

I've used pre-filled syringes too when injecting the cat, and it was really
difficult to get those caps off the syringe. There must be a trick to getting
them off, but I didn't discover it!
Thankfully I had to fill my own syringes and those needle covers were much
easier to remove.

Good point, Brenda.
I think you will also find your own preference for speed of inserting the
needle, and speed of delivering the liquid. They both made a difference to me
- and over time I discovered slow for both was most comfortable. But then, I'm

When we looked at the College of Wooster in 2004, for our son, there was an
embroidery shop in town which sold bobbin lace equipment. Maybe it's still
there - if so there probably are local lacemakers. Unfortunately, it wasn't a
good match for him, so we never saw the shop again!
