_Materials_--Tea Cloth 45 × 45 inches: Corticelli Filo Silk, 6
skeins each 655.7, 655.8; 5 skeins 655.9; 4 skeins 616.5; 2 skeins
each 109, 110, 123, 504, 506, 781, and 782. The smaller size takes
less silk. Dealers can furnish hemstitched stamped linen of this
design, with drawn work edge, in two sizes as follows: 436 B, 36×36
inches; 437 B, 45×45 inches. See page 92.
Flowers.--Work solid. For the edge of petals use 655.7, 655.8, shading
lighter gradually to the center with 616.5, 123. Give a touch of Pink,
655.9, to some of the petals to give an effect of shadow where the
petals lap; but not too much, as the flowers should be quite pale. In
the center work a number of short stamens with Green, 781, and make
French knots at the points of stamens in Yellow, 504 and 506. Work the
buds and half flowers in the same manner, although choose the darker
shades for the very small buds. Work the upper part of calyx with
Green, 781, and the part near the stem with 782.
Leaves.--Slant the stitches downward as you would to work stems. Tip
the points of the leaves with Green, 781, shading gradually darker
toward the stems with 782, 109, 110. Work the stems with 109, 110. (Not
Difficult.)
