G'day Joseph, I have two main pillows which I love working on. One is an ordinary cookie pillow - a large one about 60cm diameter - which I was told was the last one made here in Victoria, AUS stuffed with horse hair.
The other one for larger pieces I had specially made by an old friend now deceased. You see I really HATE having to move lace up. So he made me a lace desk which consists of 6 polystyrene blocks each 30cm square. i.e. a 2 rows of 3. They fit very tightly into a 10cm frame of the same polystyrene. All is covered by navy blue drill (stiff cotton) and set into a wooden border. The base is a ply wood. The whole thing is very light and easily transported from room to room. Oh each block has a round hole under it so I can push it up to move them round when needed. I just love it. Many thanks Len Purcell of Mt. Eliza. Oh and BTW the best thing I ever bought was a large hand made wooden Lazy Susan on which to sit the cookie pillow. I can turn it at will with one finger. It sits on a round foot stool. David in Ballarat, AUS 30" might be too big for comfort. I find that I have trouble seeing up close because the lace is so far away even in a 23" one. I for sure wouldn't want one any bigger.
