The large normal-size pillow has the "bunny" to attract children. The matching pincushion on this pillow was made from the oval form found in a new watch box. The mini pink pillow has machine-made lace. There is a reason! It needs to be strong (and replaceable), to withstand the trials of wear and tear. You see, it has a brooch pin bar on the back, and also a gold metal loop so it can be worn on a gold chain necklace. The pin bar prevents it from bouncing around or flipping over when worn on a chain. Being a precious token of friendship, it stays home. The oval blue mini pillow (5 1/2" wide) was described earlier this week - at least the bobbins were. The lace was made with regular-size bobbins on a large pillow, and lace transferred to the mini roller and thread ends to the mini bobbins. The pattern is on the roller. To keep the bobbins in line and secure, a gently curved brass wire is threaded through the spangles, secured at each end. With this many bobbins and intricate arrangement, it is best to engineer a way to keep order!
