When I started doing blackwork in Thailand I didn't use a frame, but when I got to New Zealand it was the first thing I bought - a plastic hoop frame. But I saw a photo of Lesley Wilkins' lap frame.... internet searches ensued, but despite needlework being probably one of the most popular crafty pursuits, there is a real lack of wee designed frames.
Enter my Mum. After explaining to her my dilemma, Mum spotted an advert for a sewing lap frame with a beanie tray (another one of my favourite things!) as a base. My Mum has an uncanny knack of spotting useful things advertised in catalogues, and as a fellow craftsperson she fully understood the value of good equipment.
