very fine needle made lace insert – sample

Another of saturday’s harvest of treasures.
done in very fine linen thread on very firmly woven linen about the style of a good quality sheeting. Really nice fabric – and the sample is pretty aged, showing discolouration every second filler motif – it is the thread used for the needleweaving and binding the edges.

The whole motif is approximately 4inches x 5inches , so the needleweaving is ptretty tiny, and very tight.Posted by Picasa

    I love the leather playing you are doing, and the new piece you are teasing us with is so interesting! Also the embroidery samples are wonderful- such detail! Wish I could shop with you… we would have such fun! Sandy
