_Materials_--22 inch Size: Corticelli Filo Silk, 2 skeins each 782,

Corticelli Persian Floss, 6 skeins 615. Smaller sizes take less

18, and 22 inch sizes. See page 92.
Border.--Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian
Floss, White, 615, working the shell shaped scallop long and short on
the inside. Into this shade work 809, using one thread of Filo Silk,
still leaving the indented effect (alternate long and short stitches)
on the inside. See Colored Plate III. Work the scroll near the border
in seamstress feather stitch or outline stitch with Green, 781.

Flowers.--Work solid. Begin the edge with 814, using 813, 743.7, 743.6,
812, 809, toward the center. Make some flowers lighter than others. All
the shades mentioned are not required for each flower. In each petal of
the open flower make three rays in Brown, 779. The part of the calyx
shown between the petals work in Green, 782. See Colored Plate XIII.
Use 814 for the edge of the buds, shading lighter to the calyx with
813, 743.7. Put a touch of 743.7 at the end of calyx, work remaining
part in 781, 782, using the lighter shade nearest the petals.
Leaves.--Work each leaf in one shade of Green, making all the stitches
come to the center. Use 781 for the small leaves, and 782, 783, for the
larger ones. For stems and veins use 784, and for the small buds 781.
(Not Difficult.)
