Thanks for your interest! I will, but it will be awhile, since right now I'm preoccupied with learning filet guipure.
Janice
As you go, please show us pictures of your progress. I love to see people developing new skills.
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 appreci...

Try that.

Please look at my website http://lynxlace.com/learning%20needlelace.html for photos. Also look at the lacefairy website. I seem to remember that she has something on how to make a needlelace pillow. I think the url is http://www.lacefairy.c...
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...
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.

For beginnning and advanced goldwork enthusiasts
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 purchase...
I use a lot of Rainbow Gallery's threads. They make a variety of thread types, including matte, shiny, woolly, and metallic.
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 quilt shop i...
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....
Good point; that's kind of a red flag, isn't it? On the other hand, color-fastness isn't that much of an issue for me since I don't wash my work and use a hoop or stretcher bars when stitching so that the pieces don't need wet blocking. I'm just s...

Reorganizing the stash
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 long… Continue
