As you go, please show us pictures of your progress. I love to see people developing new skills."
Janice Lee replied to Janice Lee's discussion Pillow for needlelace in the group Lace Makers"Thanks, Lorelei! I enjoyed your website (a lot there to take in) and the Lacemaker website does have a couple of pillows, a bolster and a flatter pillow, that should work. I looked for polyethafoam and you're right, it's hard to come by. I…"

Pillow for needlelace
I have been looking online to buy a pillow for making needlelace but can't find any in the U.S. -- just pillows for bobbin lace. I'm not very handy so would prefer not to have to make one. I know it sounds odd from someone who does needlework, but I hate to sew or make craft items and am not good at it, but I will make one if I have to. I see instructions for making a pillow in Valerie Grimwood's Introduction to Needlepoint Lace, but I don't know what the U.S. equivalent is for the U.K.'s…See More
Elmsley Rose replied to Janice Lee's discussion Pillow for needlelace - where to buy in the group Elizabethan and Jacobean Embroidery"Hi Janice,
Would your question be more appropriate for the Lacemakers group? :-) We have detached buttonhole stitch as a stitch in common, but we don't do it on pillows."

Jody Cull replied to Janice Lee's discussion Rubi pearl cotton?"Hi Janice,
I have several colors of the Rubi pearl cotton and I like it. It stitches as nice as DMC and Anchor. I use it for crazy quilting so I don't wash it. The colors are nice and the price is right to get a variety or colors. I have…"
Janice Lee replied to Susan Lynn Shifman's discussion Threads"I use a lot of Rainbow Gallery's threads. They make a variety of thread types, including matte, shiny, woolly, and metallic."
Janice Lee replied to MichelleMermaid's discussion What thread to buy?"Kerri,
I've been mail-ordering Presencia's pearl cotton because I didn't think I could find it anywhere in the Kansas City area. Not at the one needlework shop in town that I frequent, anyway. Where are you finding it locally? At the…"
Elizabeth Braun replied to Janice Lee's discussion Rubi pearl cotton?"Yes, I quite see what you mean - on both counts! When it comes to pearl cottons, I use those mostly for hardanger and some of the projects are quite likely to be washed, ie cushion/pillow covers, so genuine colourfastness would be an issue for me.…"

Reorganizing the stash
Posted on June 23, 2009 at 20:51 0 Comments 0 Likes
I picked a dreadful time of year to reorganize my stitching area up in our finished attic. That's "area," not "room" (I'm not allowed to co-opt the entire attic just for my needlework, for some reason). We have century-old floor vents, from which cool air from the downstair AC gentlly wafts, and a new energy-efficient window unit, but they're still battling against outdoor temperatures of 98 or so -- and the fact that heat rises. But I can't stand the mess any longer and cooler weather is a… Continue
