SILK EMBROIDERED BIRTHDAY CARDS.
A NOVELTY FOR WENDY LADIES. Embroidered pictures make very nice birthday cards, and I know you will enjoy making them. Cut out of a catalogue, or magazine, a nice, simple flower with a good, clear outline. Put an ordinary white postcard on a drawing board or magazine, and fix the eut-out flower securely to the postcard with drawing-pins. Take a sharp hat pin, and priek holes at even distances all along the outline of the flower. Now take up the card, and, with a needle and a strand of fine, coloured Bilk, work through the holes, finishing
off on the wrong side. The stem of the flower should be green. Writ, the name of your friend in pencil, prick through this, rub out the pencil marks, and then work in the name with silk. Everyone will be pleased with these original birthday greeting cards. And why not start making some now ready for Christmas?
