Mine was a strange, straw-filled, rectangular pillow about 12 inches x 8
inches x 3 inches, which I was given by a friend before I even knew about
bobbin-lace. She came from Bedfordshire and told me this was what the pillow
was used for. It is nicely covered in blue cotton, and would be a lot more
useful if it had a circular cross-section, and could then be used as a
bolster.
Has anyone else met up with a lace pillow like this one?
I used it for the first piece of lace I made from the Readers' Digest
handbook, but then gave up trying lacemaking as the thread used was so thick
and the design so odd that I couldn't believe it was lace!!
Later another fired talked me into going to evening classes with her - and
that turned out to be to make lace.
