EMBROIDERY

58. LIQUEUR-STAND MAT.

_Materials--White silk or cashmere; three shades of crimson, three ditto
of green, two ditto of brown chenille; five shades of scarlet Berlin
wool, four skeins of each shade; and four skeins of white Berlin wool_.

Draw the pattern on the material, and work in embroidery-stitch; the
roses with the shades of crimson; the leaves with green, shading
according to taste; and the stems with brown. In working the designs for
the corners, it is an improvement to introduce brown leaves occasionally.
Work a shaded fringe round the edge with the wools on a mesh an inch
and a half in width. Work the first round with white; the second, the
lightest crimson; after which, work one round with each shade to the
darkest; cut and comb the fringe, and line the mat with green silk.
