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 dont need to reach as far as I would if I was at my desk or kitchen table. This is what works for me. Susie Rose Up in the mountains outside of Las Vegas Prayers, love and hugs go out to all who are in need.

You may have to put a "blocker" to keep the pillow from sliding down-forward, but it is worth a try.

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?
