PAINT WITH YOUR NEEDLE... In modern homes with walls covered in plain wallpaper or light-colored paint, we love the cheerful, luminous touch of pictures showing brightly colored flowers. Those of you who don't know how to paint, with palette and brushes, can nevertheless satisfy your wish to have decorative panels at home. If you know how to embroider, flowers will bloom under your fingers just as fresh and lifelike; your needle can work this same miracle as the paintbrush. PANEL 1. This panel would look wonderful in a living room, a studio, or a dining room. These stylized flowers are drawn in embroidered lines using the most harmonious shades. The frame is made of wood painted in a light tone — ivory, grey or pale green — with a thin gilded border. On linen or silk, stem stitch, satin stitch and seed stitch are used in turn to bring these dream flowers to life. PANEL 2. This bouquet, gathering simple wildflowers, will likewise decorate a bedroom or a studio. Very varied colors will give this picture the brightness and cheerfulness you're looking for. Here too you will embroider on linen or silk, in satin stitch, long-and-short stitch and stem stitch, the flowers, stems and leaves. This fresh bouquet will be framed in light-toned painted wood. A thick silk cord will emphasize its outline.
