Dear Lacemakers,
When I knew I wanted to learn to make lace, I began to put together sets of
color-coordinated pillow, pin cushion, carrying tote bag, etc. for various
types of laces. It is more fun to work on a surface that is a color you love.

Another tip if you are making tongue depressor holders. Drill a small hole
at each end, then you can pin them down, or hold them out of the way when
working. However I've found that they tend to crack after a while.

To transport a pillow, all the bobbins etc have to

carried, nothing will move or break.
I have dealt with various cookie or flattish pillows,
not bolsters, so that's where my experience lies.
Here's some ideas that I, and my friends, use.
