SPEARS: I had been wanting some really handsome velvet rosesTo’ pep up an evening dress. I was thrilled to find in your Book 2, instruc tions for making them from ma terials I already had. I would also like to thank you for the knitted rag rug in Book 1. My Mother spent many happy hours making it last winter.” “I thought you might be inter ested in a luncheon set I have just pass -s' NEEDLE UNDER STITCHES, \THEN WORK OVER AND 'UNDER THREADS AT A- finished. It was planned to go with a set of blue dishes. There are four mats and a long runner in medium blue linen with bands of old fashioned needle weaving in darker blue across the ends. Just two edges of the napkins are banded with the weaving.” We can imagine how attractive the table must be set with these mats and the blue dishes. Some of you who have pink dishes might like to try the same idea in tones of rose. Use a rather coarse lin en. Prepare the work for the weaving by drawing out the fabric threads as for hemstitching. Each step is shown here in the diagram. Either linen or mercerized em broidery thread may be used. Sewing Book No. 2, Gifts,. Nov elties and Embroideries, contains 48 pages of step-by-step directions which have helped thousands of women.
