MATERIALS..—Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Valenciennes Cottons, and No. 7, French Braid. Also some satin of any bright colour, satin ribbon 2 inches wide to match, and materials for a pincushion.
PINCUSHION
This pincushion is intended to be made up in the French style—that is, merely laid over the top of a satin cushion, with three handsome bows of ribbon to match, placed at equal distances.
The outlines are in French braid. The scallops are filled alternately with English lace, worked with Valenciennes, No. 240, and rows of Venetian and Brussels alternately, done in No. 200 of the same. The Sorrento edge is done with No. 100. One flower has a double Mecklin wheel in the centre, and ismerely edged with Venetian lace (in No. 160), the other has two petals filled with foundation stitch (in No. 240), and two with English lace.
The ground is Brussels net, worked with Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Valenciennes, No. 200.
PINCUSHION.
The Venetian and English bars are worked with No. 180.
If the centre is left plain and open, a small glass for flowers is inserted. Of course, the pincushion has an open centre to correspond. If filled, the cushion has a flat top, and the lace is merely laid on, and fastened with satin bows.
