Description

Three square doilies created using the pulled thread technique. An embroidered lace technique, pulled thread lace is created by embroidering under tension, pulling embroidery thread tight to create a lace effect. No threads are drawn out of the fabric. These doilies each measure 5.5 inches by 5.5 inches, and feature simple, decorative stitches. Each one includes a solid center surrounded with lace detailing, and a solid border. There is some light staining on the third doily.
