692.8, 753, 754. Smaller sizes take less silk. Dealers can furnish
stamped linen of this design in 9, 18, and 22 inch sizes. See page
92.
This design is square, the edges are doubled under and securely sewed
with silk.
Border.--Outline the scroll in each corner with Corticelli Filo Silk,
645. Work the scallop inside the scroll with White, 615, to the depth
of half an inch. Into the white shade 644.6, leaving a long and short
effect on the inside of the scallop. Fill the space between the outside
scroll and the scallop with fine seed stitches made with 645. Work the
scroll inside of stitching solid in satin stitch with 645. See Colored
Plate XX.
Flowers.--Begin the points of the petals with White, 615, shading to
the center with Green, 692.8, 661, and 662. Fill the centers with
French knots in Yellow, 503 and 505. See Colored Plate XX. Work the
buds in 692.8 and 661. (These small buds are darker than open flowers.)
In the large buds use some white also. Work the calyx with Green, 754.
Leaves.--Begin the points with Green, 753, shading gradually darker
with 754 to the center. Use 582 for the stems and veins. (Easy.)

This design is square, the edges are doubled under and securely sewed.
No silk is therefore required for buttonholing the edge.
Border.--Use same instructions as given for working Border of Daisy
Design 612 D, page 49.
Flowers.--Begin the edge with 639 and shade lighter to center with
638, 655.9, 655.8. Make some petals lighter and some flowers lighter
than others. Vary the shading. In the center of the open flower work a
few stitches of Green, 780, and irregularly around these stitches make
French knots in Yellow, 504. A study of Colored Plate IX will assist
one in shading this design.
Leaves.--Work solid. Begin the edge with Green, 780, shading gradually
darker to the center with 781, 782, 783. Vary the shading. Make the
leaves under the flowers much darker. Use but a little of 780 and only
on tips. Work the veins and stems with Green, 784. (Easy.)
