Holly Design No. 607 F.
For a Christmas or New Year's present nothing is more appropriate than a centerpiece or doily embroidered with the handsome holly. This design is quite simple and is easily worked.
Border.—Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian Floss, White, 615. Work the shell-shaped scallop long and short on the inside. Over this indented buttonhole work, shade in one thread of Filo Silk, White, 615, leaving a long and short effect on the inside. See Colored Plate IV, Borders. Work the scroll near the border in seamstress feather stitch or in outline stitch with Filo Silk, White, 615, or in Green, 781.
Berries.—Work in satin stitch with Corticelli Filo Silk, Red, 767, 768, using only one shade in each berry.
Leaves.—Work solid, using Green, 781, for the edge. Shade darker toward the center with 754, 582, 583, 785, 586. Make some leaves darker than others. Use 781 for the turned over parts of the leaves. Work the stems and veins in 584 and 785. (Easy.)
