Bulgarian Doily No. 55 C.
Corticelli Filo Silk alone should be used in the figures of the doilies even for the cross-barring, though the scallops and black lines should be of the Etching Silk. It is possible to introduce the red into the doily scallops in the little connecting points and to so combine the colors as to make all the edges different. Four of each of the doily designs form the dozen, and these may be still further varied by a little planning as to color schemes. The centerpiece and doilies may be embroidered with good effect in simple outline or rows of outline, known as the "Bulgarian stitch." If desired the entire work on the centerpiece may be done with Corticelli Etching Silk, and the effect will be really very beautiful, and novel as well, but the figures of the doilies are too small for such treatment. (Not Difficult.)
