EMBROIDERY

67. TOILET-CUSHION.

_Materials--White or black satin; three shades of crimson, three shades
of yellow, three shades of green, and two shades of olive green
embroidery silk; one yard of crimson and one yard of green chenille will
also be required_.


Draw the pattern on the material, and work in embroidery-stitch one rose
with the shades of crimson, and the second with the shades of yellow;
the leaves with the shades of green, and the stems with olive; work a
few stitches with the shades of the roses in the centre of the
rose-buds, and work the corner designs with green and olive. In the
arrangement of the colours, the taste and judgment of the worker must be
exercised, as much depends upon the harmoniously blending of the various
shades.
