Wild Roses.—Work the petals solid with Corticelli Filo Silk, beginning at the edge with 639, shading towards the center with 638, 637, 636. Work the petals that seem to be in the background darker than those that overlap them. Vary the shading in some of the flowers. In the center work a few French knots with 505. See Colored Plate XXV.
Forget-me-nots.—Work in satin stitch each petal or all petals in one flower in one shade of Blue, 623, 624, 625. Place one French knot in the center of the open flowers, using Yellow, 503.
Ribbon.—Work in satin stitch, in Yellow, 503, 504, slanting the stitches across the ribbon. Be careful to preserve the correct effect of the twisted part by working one side of the fold in 503, the next fold in 504, and so on. See Colored Plate XXV.
Leaves.—Work in satin stitch, using Green, 124, 125, 126, 127, making half of each leaf in one shade. Outline the stems with 127. Rules for mounting and framing will be found on page 69. (Somewhat Difficult.)
