Yes, the 2nd and 3rd photos are closeups of bits of the 1st photo. Once you see
the whole thing, it stops looking like Brugge/Duchesse. I thought it had a
faint resemblance to something like Binche, but only because of the large
variety of stitch patterns. But the Binche stuff that I know doesn't have an
outlining thread to the motifs, and I don't recognise any of the traditional
Binche grounds in there. This one really has me stumped.
