Border.—Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian Floss, 615. One corner is turned under on the wrong side and buttonholed on the right side through both thicknesses of linen. Work the straight line, or slit, in the turned over corner in fine buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian Floss, 615. The stems, which apparently come through the slit, should be worked in outline stitch with Filo Silk, Green, 755. Colored Plate V.
Flowers.—Make the edge with Corticelli Filo Silk, Yellow, 507, shading lighter to the center with 506, 505, 504, 502. Some flowers should be darker than others. In the center of the flower work a few stitches of Green, 781, and around these stitches make a few French knots in 781 also. For the back petals of the buds use 507, shading lighter to the stem with 506, 505. Use Green, 582, for the points of calyx, and shade 573 into the stem, using this shade also for a part of each stem.
Leaves.—Make the points in Green, 781, shading gradually to midvein with 582, 753, 754. Omit 781 in some of the leaves, thus making them darker, and adding 755 at the bottom of the leaf. Use 755 for the stems. (Easy.)
