hand frame. The appliques are padded
before working III order to give the work
raised effect when transferred to the
deep pile of the plush. An effective
method of decorating the dado Of por-
there in olive serge is to out strips Of
dark blue cloth. and dispose them in
the shape of trellis work across it.
Basic them on, and then cut out large,
bold flowers and leaves from maroon and
dark green satin sheeting. Group these
upon the trellis like growing vine,
some of the flowers and buds passing
under the trellis, others lying upon it.
Basic or gum all in place; then use silks
and orewel to buttonhole stitch the
edges down. Work coarse line of
brown crewel for the stem. The trellis
may be buttonholed with red or gold,
while the flowers and leaves look best
when worked with shade correspond
ing to their hue. Vein the leaves and
point the flowers when all is finished,
and occasionally touch the foliage with
deep red. A snowy variety of this work
was made by using gold braid for the
trellis upon ground of plush or dark
velyeteen, and Ill this case the flowers
were partially embroidered and tho
foliage applied.
