About this work
Strip of natural-colored linen with lace embroidery with drawn threads. Threads are drawn from the linen at equal intervals across the full width. The remaining threads are grouped into bundles and wrapped with light blue and white threads in a running stitch, the weaving stitch. Two strips are sewn together to form this strip.
