This is the best shot I have been able to get. White on white, very old and starting to lose stitches after HUNDREDS of washings in the machine! Didn't have money for fabric and no quilt police at the time. A tole pattern in a magazine to go on a milk can, an eagle with arrows and olive branch in claws. Using two sheets, stitch two parallel lines about a quarter inch apart and pull cording through the back into the channel for a raised look then sandwich and quilt.

same technique only done with a stem stitch and floss
