I'm sure the lady did her best, but I don't think it's a particularly good attempt at a lace pillow. Looks as if she's just covered a circle of cardboard with fabric. A very small amount of polyester filling to give it a bit of shape would look better, or even a covered upside-down dome-backed button. Whatever is used to make a pillow a few stitches through the cover would catch the lace and thread in place.
And why do none of the people who make miniature pillows ever include a miniature pricking?
The worst twelfth-scale pillow that comes up on ebay frequently is the one which looked like a cushion from a sofa and has a piece of lace on it running across it and three or four bobbins dangling from the headside.
Perhaps none of them have actually had a go at making lace, although perhaps this particular lady has because she's got the lace running down the pillow and the bobbins attached in pairs.
