Border.—Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian Floss, White, 615.
Flowers.—Make a few stitches at the middle of the point of each petal with Corticelli Filo Silk, Purple, 676, shading toward the bottom of the petal with 652, 651, 650, 726, 725. Begin back edge, or lip, of cup with 651, shading darker toward the center with 652, 676. Do the front lip in similar manner, but use 650 for the edge and 651 to shade toward the center. Under the lip make the shadow with 676. From the center of the cup make a pistil in Green, 781. Careful study of Colored Plate XI will show the proper shading and correct direction of the stitches.
Leaves.—Work solid, using 780 for the point and shading gradually darker with 781, 782, 783, 784. Work the stems near the flower, with 783, shading darker with 784 toward the base of stem. (Somewhat Difficult.)
