During the January 10, 2010 Meeting of the BSI in New York, Alice contributed a pillow for the Watson Fund. The fund raises money to help Irregulars who find the expense of the New York trip a bit daunting.

The pillow was The Abbey Grange. It brought $260 at auction and was bought by Leslie Klinger whose investiture is the Abbey Grange. Pictures are below with some comments from Alice on the pillow and its construction:

"The pillow took a lot longer than I thought it would to bead and sew -- nearly 63 hours! (but who's counting?) Anyway, it looks pretty good so I hope that it will bring a good amount for the Watson fund.They might want to add to the kinds of beads - opal, because I put 6 real opal beads on the pillow since the word "opalescent" appears at least twice in the story and Australia is famous for its opals, among many other things."

The presentation will explore the infinite variety of Sherlockian *pastiches; covering persons, places, dates, and a ridiculous amount more. No particular pastiche(s) will be emphasized, but the group will be dazzled and befuddled by too, too many examples.

*Pastiche- A dramatic, literary, or musical piece openly imitating the previous works of other artists, often with satirical intent.
