Pulled thread work, drawn fabric work, pulled fabric work not the same as drawn thread work

Part of sampler
On the sampler: Top row: Double back stitch, cobbler stitch, reed stitch. Eyelets and double back stitch squares. 4-sided stitch offset by 2 in each direction, 3-sided stitch. Second row: Double back stitch, satin stitch (right angles), 4-sided stitch offset by one in 2 directions, 4-sided stitch offset by 1 in one direction. Third row: Double fa99ot stitch. Bottom row: fa99ot stitch, diagonal drawn ground, 4-sided stitch, double 4-sided stitch. Border: 3-sided stitch.

The large rectangular block is backstitch over 3x3 separated by 7 threads, offset by 1 to make 4-paned "windows." Do not know the name of the stitch. I worked this out for myself from a similar one in Agnes Leach's book; you can see it at the very top and it doesn't look like much. To the right is square backstitch, learned from http://www.lynxlace.com/pulledthreadwork.html.

More pulled thread work


Diagonal drawn ground with eyelets and half-eyelets
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:
Eyelets

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.
