"Gulp" is right, Celia!! I hadn't gotten to that picture, but it is amazing. The lace showing at the back of her pillow looks wide, and that would take a lot of bobbins. It looks like she's using Binche or Mechlin bobbins, and those laces are intricate and require loads of them. And see... she managing them using those long pins. That's a trick I haven't mastered yet! Looks like she has 8 or 10 flipped at a time - WOW.
