I have sent a reply to Lynn, but she could not get through I suspect
because my ISP terra is playing up yet again. It is an ISP that allows a
great deal of spam on it's system and I do get rejected by mailing lists and
other ISPs now and then. If anyone else has tried to contact me and failed
then please use this alternative address for me [EMAIL PROTECTED] to

I have a nasty feeling that I am going to have to change all of my mailing
list subscriptions to this alternative address once more.
Bev is right, I have had several requests for the pillow bag instructions,
to which I have added a few photos now of different aspects of my latest bag
in the hope it makes the instructions easier to understand.
Isn't it amazing, the variety of methods there are for securing bobbins to
the pillow.
A couple of years ago when we had a lace exhibition here in our town I put
in some of my English lace pieces and also an English pillow on a stand
complete with my best and prettiest English bobbins. There were a couple of
Spanish pillows set up on stands too. The pillows were on open display with
only a rope cordon between the pillows and the public passing by. To
secure my bobbins to the pillow so that one could no be stolen by a snap of
a thread, I used strong nylon fishing line in shortish lengths. I threaded
the line through the spangles securing the ends of each length by knotting
the ends around a couple of berry pins. The fishing line was invisible
amongst the spangles which were spread out fan wise around the pillow as if
work was in progress and I never lost a single bobbin over the month of the
exhibition.
I read the message about a lady using the panty part of a pair of tights. I
can imagine the laughter that would cause as the pillow was unwrapped from
it's carry bag.
My husband, whenever he went river fishing in the winter time, would wear
and old pair of my tights beneath his trousers, he reckoned they kept him
nice and warm. Heaven help him though if ever he had needed to be rushed to
hospital from the river bank.
