I'm doing some more pulled thread (drawn fabric) work to see if I can work up something for Mabel's Table, Cousin Diane Hansen's project. This other entry shows some examples of pulled thread work I've done in the past:

I washed a large piece of cream-colored burlap in the washing machine, bagged up in a net bag to control fraying. I tried washing a large piece once before and it simply shredded. Washing before sewing is recommended; means ironing too. Well, I can iron. Later: Ironing done; I've been playing around with sampler-type work. Very rough draft.
