Hello to One and All!
With all the talk about hankerchiefs, I just started one for myself, in black
& gold rayon. My cookie pillow is 20 inches across and the pricking is almost
11 inches square.  I sit on my bed, my back propped up with pillows with the
lace pillow on my lap angled with a small pillow behind it.  I don’t need to
reach as far as I would if I was at my desk or kitchen table.   This is what
works for me.

Hi Dee, Try slanting the pillow so you are working with the pattern at an
angle facing you.  You may have to put a "blocker" to keep the pillow
from sliding down-forward, but it is worth a try. Happy Lacemaking,Betty

  I have just started to make a large item in very fine silk, on a flat
  polystyrene pillow, and am finding that I am reluctant to start it
  each day,
  even though I want to do the pattern, as it is starting on the far
  side of my
  pillow, and I have to stretch so much to reach to put the pins in,
  which gives
  me terrible backache very quickly. Has anyone any tips on how to get
  over
  this, or is it just a case of slogging on with it until I have worked
  enough
  for it to be within easy reach?
