Hi Elaine and All, I have at least one of the Newnham pillows - the largest is the one with a circular centre, which can be moved round, and with a sort of 'skirt' that holds the bobbins. It is wonderful for making fans and collars, or huge round mats, but weighs a ton. It almost needs a block and tackle to lift it, so it isn't carted round to Lace Days etc. very often - I tend to use it at home, or on days when I am making lace for the whole day - such as the Wymondham Lace Group days monthly - so I don't have to carry it far.
Most of my other pillows are made by Josie and Geoff Harrison - I don't think they go to Lace Days now, but they still supply from home. I have always thought of them as then best pillow makers in business now, and thankfully, I don't think I'll have to worry about replacing pillows or pillow-makers for some considerable time - I have more pillows than I could use in a life-time, so my husband says - but I do like to try the newer designs out, and definietely can't resist a new travel pillow, or something I haven't seen before! Carol - in a cold and depressing Suffolk UK, where the snow has gone and it just looks wet and soggy outside!
