Sounds fascinating.  But if I understand you correctly, that is embroidery
done
on a net background (like Irish lace?).   I'm looking for something that is
basically solid fabric with small squares of drawn work (say, 8 threads by 8
threads, max) , which is in turn filled with needlelace or squares or
diamonds.  Is that like what you are describing?
