Everything looks fairly correct except maybe the pincushion - too modern
looking. The pillow is what I'd call a plum pudding shape, not a bolster,
and is typical of the East Midlands. The bobbins are spangled bone East
Midlands type.
Queenie seems to be working a narrow edging, though its impossible to tell
what lace type, there appears to be sufficient bobbins for the job.

"Opening sequence in this evening's episode showed Queenie sitting under a
tree, making bobbin lace on a rather flattened bolster pillow. Too quick
to
take in just what she was making, or the type of bobbins. There didn't
seem
to be many bobbins, but it did look as if she was actually making lace.
If
anyone's videoed it, perhaps they can give a more accurate description."

can go to the BBC iPlayer and watch the episode online at your leisure
