Thanks for sharing Lorelei. There are some dice drawn thread borders & corners in that album too.

In this album #92 is a really nice reticella type design:

Thanks to Jenny and Lorelei for their input on that wonderful border.  I thought it might be button-holed over cast-on thread as in a hedebo border, but surely you might get the same effect by a cut-work method.

Carmel, a lady that I knew (who has since passed) was a wizz at fillet by withdrawing threads, and won prizes for her work. I always used to think that it was a cut 2 leave 2 mesh but Heather told me "not always". How many threads you leave & cut will depend on how big a hole you want left & what threads you will use in the fillings. Just experiment to see what works.

With piece 11, I can't get a clear enough image to tell what has been done on that edge. It looks similar to a Snutki edge that I have done which was all buttonholed. The fabric was cut, tucked back underneath & buttonholed over. Excess fabric showing underneath was cut away. There is a pic of my piece at

Oops. I meant #14.  It mixes counted thread regularity with random blobs in a really interesting way.

I looked at 11 & 12, had to save it to my computer in order to enlarge it (haven't figured out how to do that on the google page).  The circles are overcast on the edge that abuts the cloth, and buttonholed on the edge that faces outward.  Cloth must have either been cut out, or snipped and folded under.  The work is teeny tiny.  Stefania, if the stitcher cut the circle assymetrically, she could have left a wider bit of folded fabric for the buttonhole stitch to work over, making it a bit wider than the buttonholing.

Looks like half circle is done in buttonhole stitch and half in overcast stitch. I don't think it is a whole circle in overcast stitch with a buttonhole added outside, too thin for this solution, but I'm wondering if it could be a buttonhole stitch done over the overcast stitch in the outer part...
