The things we do!

The pattern
is a quilted counterpane of scarlet cashmere; the lining is of fine
linen. Before embroidering it, make the points for the corners. The
embroidery is worked in button-hole stitch, overcast, satin, and ladder
stitch. It can also be worked on fine cambric or muslin, and then the
embroidered pattern sewn on the piece of linen which forms the cover on
the wrong side. Make the button-holes as seen on illustration, and sew
on mother-of-pearl or china buttons.
