Hi All, I have a lovely travel pillow which has been all over the place with me, for the last umpteen years! It was made by a friend in Norfolk Lace Makers, but I think a very similar one can now be purchased from SMP Lace. It folds up into a box shape, about a foot high, by six inches by six inches, but when it is opened out, the 'apron' bit to make the lace on is slightly bigger than some domes pillows. It comes with a roller, a square block, and can have a round block too, so that all manner of lace can be made, so long as the motif can fit on the square (which I have to admit isn't used by me very often!) or round block. I have made several wedding garters on the roller (which will take lace about 4 inches wide with comfort) as well as several lengths of edgings, and the round block is useful for motifs, as it can be twisted round as you need to get round the motif.
I tend to use the 'midi' travel bobbins by Richard Ives on all my travel pillows - they are about 2/3 the size of normal bobbins but, like all his work, are lovely to handle, and beautifully balanced. And as an added bonus, Jenny will spangle them for you if you so wish! The usual disclaimers - a very satisfied customer of both suppliers, but with no financial gain in telling you all!
