_Materials_--22 inch Size: Corticelli Filo Silk, 2 skeins each 623,
624, 637, 638, 639, 640, 741, 742, 805, 806; 1 skein each 504,
625, 626, 780, 807, 808. Corticelli Persian Floss, 8 skeins 616.5.
Smaller pieces take less silk. Dealers can furnish stamped linen of
this design in 18 and 22 inch sizes only. See page 92.
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.)

54.]
Forget-me-nots.--Work in satin stitch with Blue, 623, 624, 625, 626.
Don't try to shade each petal, but get light and shade effect by making
some petals in 623, some in 624, etc. Use 626 for an occasional petal
only, as the color is rather strong. Work in the centers one French
knot with 742.
Leaves.--Work solid with Green, 805, 806, 807, 808. Make the larger
leaves in the darker shades; the points of the leaves in 805. Veins and
stems work with 808.
Ribbons.--Work in satin stitch, slanting across the ribbon, using
Yellow, 741, 742. To give the effect of the twisted ribbon, work one
turn of the ribbon with 741, the next fold with 742, and so on. If you
prefer, Green, 125, 126, 127, can be used for the ribbon, carrying out
the same idea as directed above. (Somewhat Difficult.)
