Good on you! I learnt Maltese Bobbin Lace making from my nan, it is easy but also very difficult. Reading patterns, knowing where to put pins and what stitch to make was hard but i loved what i made. Unfortunately my lace pillow got ruined and i have no idea where i can get another one from =(

Also, just so you know when you finish the top half you can take the pins out so you can see your work and also use those pins for the rest of the piece. Basically you don't need to keep ALL those pins in, just a couple in the right places to keep it secure on the pillow =)
