MICHAEi-MASa-DAISY PATTERN 581
MICHAELMAS DAISY BLOOMS
In these past weeks our fields and roadsides have been brilliant
with the Michaelmas Daisy. In all varieties—in all shades of orchid it
beautified the countr:side. And why then with all these fine qualities
should it not decorate our linens especially when it lends itself to the
simplest embroidery stitches and effective massing of color? The motifs
are suitable for a variety of articles that make most acceptable gifts
such as towels pillow-cases teacloths and luncheon sets as well as
many small articles. Though the Michaelmas Daisy usuallv is orchid
it can be done in any color using either a shaded thread or different
shades of the same color thread
Pattern 581 contains a transfer pattern of six motifs 34x11 inches
and twelve motifs lx2’a inches; a color chart: detailed directions and
yardages for using the motifs on a variety of linens.
