EXERCISES AND PROBLEMS
1. Make a design for your notebook cover.
2. Calculate size of piece of material needed, if both covers are 9 X 6. Allow ½ inch turnings all around.
3. Try to plan a design with a background of darning stitches. Perhaps you can use it on a Christmas gift for brother.
REVIEW PROBLEMS
I. Plan a gift for father's Christmas on which the darning or cross-stitch is used.
II. Look up the story of the history of silk culture and write a story to be read in school. Perhaps it may be as good as the one Barbara Oakes wrote. Her story was printed in the "Pleasant Valley News."
