Hello,
Sure
Queyras is in the south of french Alp. (wonderfull country)
Queyras pillows have a box in the middle. The ornementation are make
with a kniffe. The name of this pillow is tambour (drum).
The Queyras lace is very special made without pricking. It came from
Belgium, near Anvers. Women who travel with Napoleon army showed there
lace to Queyras women. The back is point de Paris.
Bobbins are big and heavy. They are carv with kniffe too.
You need many bobbins to make lace. I let you image the difficulty to
make this lace on this pillow!

Hello Vicki,
it's not Jean it is Ilske answering,
Those boxes comes from the region of Queyras and around there. You
find those carvings on several things as well as on the sides of the
round pillows. The bobins are carved in that matter as well.
In the book from Claire le Goazion "Dentelles du Queyras et ses
vallées voisine" all those things are described.
Hope this helps.
Ilske
