The flowers and leaves could be done in outline with pleasing effect, but will be very elegant if worked in Long and Short Stitch. It will add greatly to their beauty if, after the ribbon is outlined, the spaces are filled in with fancy stitches, such as Cat Stitch, Feather Stitch, double rows of Long and Short Buttonholing, etc. Make some of the roses light, some dark. For this particular centerpiece, four shades of light pink and four shades of dark pink were used. A light or medium yellow for the centers was used. Bow-knots were white, off-white or light cream.
