The is the front view of an "in the hoop" design". This is just a sample showing three different type of fabrics and designs. The black is black silk dupion, the beige is a linen type, and the blue is just quilters cotton. All are lined, and these are all done in the hoop. The black design is jacobean, and the blue is always a favorite of mine - I love dolphins, and have been lucky enough to watch them frolic in our oceans.
