what a day this has been! cathie (thank you!) commented on what if #94, and 
asked What if.... these delicious little eyelet holes were the "mouths" of little creatures ?.... and somethings just can't wait.... eyelets as little mouths. i love this one. and they needed a new name, no? i am sending this to cathie.
i also accidentally solved a problem i was having with hiding knots and thread ends. i doubled the piece of linen because it was too sheer and lightweight , and i realize by working with a double fabric it gives you a pocket, 2 layers, to hide your knots in. so it could be reversible. and speaking of reversible what if the 2 layers were different colors?
