Several new photos of my admittedly crude pulled-thread work.

Also, don't miss the Dresden lappet posted in enormous detail by Margret Ruhland:

Be sure and look at all Margret's images full size!

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.

Ready to use in the kitchen

This one's pretty well filled up.

A fancy huck pattern from "Destashification"

I did this from a pattern from https://destashification.com/2012/05/27/huck-how-to/
This one I gave to LaJuana Paris.

Huck embroidery test patterns.

This is huck embroidery, worked on the surface of huck toweling, using 6-strand embroidery floss. Go to the end for two closeup views of the work, showing how the threads go under the floats on the fabric.

This is the thread box that Robert Standlee gave me. It was his grandmother's and it was full of thread, as you can see in the next picture showing how it opens up.
