[Illustration: FORGET-ME-NOT FRAME DESIGN NO. 60.]
The simple Forget-me-not design for a photograph frame for a cabinet
sized photograph should be very popular. To present one's picture thus
framed to a valued friend carries with it a pretty sentiment, the
favorite little flower of heavenly blue pleading for us that we may
be remembered. The treatment is of the simplest kind. Both blossoms,
buds, and leaves are worked in satin stitch, with French knots for
the centers. The stems are in outline or stem stitch. For such small
flowers Corticelli Filo Silk should be used in preference to any other
kind of silk. Work the blossoms with 623, 624; the leaves and stems
with 780, 781, 782. A very artistic effect can also be gained by
working the blossoms with 699, 700, putting in the leaves and stems
with 107, 108, 109. Make the French knots for the centers with 115. The
buds may be of a delicate Pink, 678. Rules for mounting and framing
will be found on page 69. (Easy.)
