| The Lilac Embroidery BLOCK NO 1. |
Original Instructions: Here is the Lilac, first of the "Flower Garden" quilt blocks. Each block is exact size to transfer through carbon paper to 9-inch squares of material and then embroider in natural colors of the flowers, using the simple well-known stitches such as outline, lazy-daisy, buttonhole and the French knot. An ivory tone material, slightly darker than unbleached muslin is more effective than white for background as some of the flowers are to be embroidered in white. The lilac block uses two tones of violet with the lighter lavender for the top and flowers next to the leaves at the bottom in the darker tones. The flowers are lazy-daisy stitch as indicated with tiny knot of yellow in each center; the green of the leaves is done with the outline stitch.
