The things we do!

13th round: Same shade, 1 spot, 21 double. The pattern of raised spots
being now completed, continue to work with the lightest shade of red in
double stitches, decreasing once above each pattern, so as to close up
the circle gradually. The white flowers are worked over the plain part
of the cushion with white wool, and silk for the petals, and a black dot
in the centre. The cushion is stuffed with horsehair and lined with
glazed calico. A round of thick pasteboard is stitched in at the bottom,
to make it stand firmer.

_250.--Daisy Pattern for a Crochet Couvrette._
Materials: For a large couvrette, Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's
Head cotton No. 8; for pincushion covers, mats, and such-like small
articles, Boar's Head cotton No. 16 or 20.
A pattern of this description is most useful, as it can be converted to
so many purposes. Counterpanes, couvrettes of every description, mats,
pincushions, and a thousand other things can all be arranged from the
design.
