Hello All
I agree with Noelene about using laces. When my daughter and I
first started making lace. Our teacher told us to use laces, they are better
than knitting safety pins because the bobbins do not get in a muddle. When
you undo the bow, the bobbins are all perfectly in order.

I'm looking for a small miniature lace pillow, measuring about 10 cm

They probably do exist, but I've never seen one. I made my own but it's
smaller than that. I made it for my 1/12th scale dollshouse and it measures
1 wide x 1 height.
I have put a picture on my webshots album. I'll leave it there for a few
days if you want to have a look.

Annelies de Kort springs to mind when I think of miniature lace settings.
Maybe she'll be able to help you if you email her

I've seen small cookie pillows on eBay at times. But
why not just make one the size you want? Some stiff
cardboard, fiberfill, and fabric plus some glue would
do it. Or carve the shape from a small piece of foam

I used to use crochet strips crocheted from shirrring elastic (the thin round
sort) to keep my bobbins safely anchored - I reckon the knitting stitch
holders don't give enough to be as safe with very fine thread or delicate
spangles - until an embroidery group I belonged to had a session on

Possibly Geoff Mudge or Reg Beasant as well. I know someone makes different

Having thought about it again, I think it's Brian Goodwin that does the
range of miniature stuff - he was against the far wall of the main hall at
last year's Havant Lacemaker's fair.

Those of you who know Jenny Hester, or have bought bobbins from her, will
probably like to know that her husband died on Tuesday following a lomg illness.

This is not really lace but as I know a lot of lace makers who make
miniature lace for dolls houses I found a site called

My friend, who is an artist, made me a lacemaker's cottage; rather a room in
a lacemaker's cottage. It has furniture and a tiny bolster pillow on a
stand. She made the bobbins by cutting the bristles from one of those
hairburshes with plastic bristles. They're just the right size; the knob

This works well, but I also use a knitters stitch-holder through the
spangles.

off near the body part.
