This garland design when embroidered will be a surprise to any one who has never tried a similar pattern. The coloring has a very rich, subdued tone which is quite different from that found in any other style of design.
Border.—Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian Floss, 616.5.
Wild Roses.—Work solid, using all the shades of Pink Corticelli Filo Silk, 637, 638, 639, 640, working the edge of the petals dark, shading gradually lighter toward the center of the flowers. Use three shades in each flower. Vary the flowers, making some darker than others. In the center work four or five stamens with one thread of Filo, 780, and at the end of each stamen make a French knot with Yellow, 504. (See Photo Frame No. 60.)
