This pretty name requires care in working; the leaves which adorn the letters must be very well defined; they, as well as the letters, are embroidered in satin st.i.tch, the initial letter being veined, and the ornaments worked in overcast and eyelet-holes.

Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 30.

This elaborate design should not be attempted by beginners in the art of embroidery; it is worked in overcast st.i.tch, raised and veined satin st.i.tch; the tendrils are entirely worked in graduated overcast; the name is placed over a graceful spray of wild flowers worked in the above-named st.i.tches. This pattern, although originally designed to be worked on net or fine muslin, is far more effective when worked on cambric or fine lawn.
