These designs are especially adapted for beginners. The 7 and 9 inch sizes make pretty doilies, and the larger linens work up into very attractive centerpieces, tray cloths and bureau scarfs.
Flowers.—Work solid. Begin edge of petals with Corticelli Filo Silk, 637, shading lighter toward center with 636, 655.7. In the center of the open flowers make a few stitches in 781 to represent stamens, and make three or four French knots around these stitches with 645. Work the buds solid, using 637 for edge and 636 near calyx. Use 782 for calyx. A study of Colored Plate XXI will assist one in getting the right shading and stitch direction.
Leaves.—Work solid, beginning points with 781, shading darker to midvein with 782. Stems should be worked solid or with two or three rows of outline stitch, using 783. Use 783 also for veins. (Easy.)
