Wholecloth.....lessons learned #2

The wholecloth is coming along quite nicely.  Here's a couple more lessons I've learned along the way:
1)  Use a spiral eye needle when burying threads.  (I just ordered mine and am saving my burying until they are received.
2)  Wear your glasses when stitching pebbles. 
3)  Sit down on a chair, stool, or something when stitching those pebbles.
4)  Match the thread color to the fabric.  (Have I said that enough?)
5)  Do not attempt to stitch pebbles after consuming wine.

Stay posted for the finished product!

I found this interesting fabric in my stash...

I love this, but I don't know what to do with it.  It's brown and white and really unique.  It doesn't appear to be a hand-dye, and I have no idea how old it is.  It was given to me about five years ago.   I'd appreciate your suggestions!
