Good Morning Gentle Spiders: I am really enjoying the conversation about the pillows and pillow storage. I am only two years into bobbin lacing.
My first pillow is a mushroom pillow purchased from K. Kirchner. It is straw and quite lovely. It is my preferred one, 18 inches. Then, I purchased a pillow from Doris O'Neil. It is a 16 inch foam. I love this one also, especially for small motifs, etc. And then, I purchased my One and Only and covered it myself. I did a nice job...but this one is still a virgin. It is waiting for it's first job. But the one I think of with the most fondness, is my Australian Travel pillow that I purchased last June while I was visiting my friend Shirley Meier and her Husband Max in Geelong, Australia. The pillow was actually made by a friend of Shirley's and it has been very fondly used for many bookmarks that I have made as I travel around the Chicago Land area with my Husband as he did his Rotary duties as District Governor. [Thanks Shirley! And Max my Travel bobbins are the best!] This travel pillow is very compact but has storage boxes, etc. Quite nice. This winter I purchased a Honiton pillow, also still a virgin, and am hoping to begin working in Honiton soon. And, My brother in Turkey has made me a roller pillow. Our only problem is how he will get it to me...but he has sent me a photo and the roller is beautiful. I will be covering it myself. I can hardly wait to see this one. So lets see, that makes 5 with another coming from Turkey. Storage: in the guest room, usually on the bed or tipped on-end against the wall. Oh, and one is sitting on the Weaving Loom. Since I have two tables, [one made by my brother in Turkey that has a special pull out tray from underneath the top], My WIPs are usually on them. However at the moment, my pillows are empty as I design an insertion lace square to go with my next project...a table runner. I am very new to designing and this is a bit of a challenge to me. Happy Lacing everyone Enjoy the sunshine! Susie Johnson Morris, Illinois Where the humidity is high, wind is almost not here but the Japanese beetles certainly are!
