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

Amazing work! I have a book called the Essential Quilter that describes this technique. The author classified it as a form of trapunto. What did you use for the cording that you inserted in the channel? The author said yarn could be used.
