GROWN Designs and Colors the Same Cross Stitch Growing In Popularity Colored Embroidery on White Linen Much Ueed. needlework has taken complete possession of the most, modern of work baskets, and every week or two one sees some one of the kinds of handwork that were in fashion many years ago being revived. Cross stitch 1r growing In popularity, and very beautiful floral pieces are now being made for cushions, table covers, etc. The designs are quite those that were used when the work was popular many years ago. and the colors used an; the dull, deep pinks, dark garnets and shaded greens which go so well with the stiff bouquets and garlands of the patterns. One wonders that aome one does not invent an entirely new kind of designing for this work, not because the old patterns are not satisfactory, but because nowadays we are always crying for new things. As yet, however, the cross stitch workers seem to be perfectly satisfied with the old pattern. Their aim is not to make a departure Into new designs, but to find some particularly quaint which old ones to copy something none of their acquaintances has come across. Colored embroidery on white linen Is much' used for pin cushions. The designs that are in fashion at the moment are scattered and rather alight and dainty. The moat attractive work, and also the most difficult, Is that which includes open-worembroidery In white thread and the colored embroidery In the same design. For instance, a pin cushion was noticed decorated with corner designs, including scattered blossoms and butterflies. emThe butterflies were of open-wor- k broidery done in white, supplemented around the winga with embroidery In The tiny d linen thread. blossoms were In different colored linen threads. The mingling of applique work with fancy stitching la seen on the new fancy work which is to be used on useful articles for bedrooms and diningrooms. For instance, a laundry bag made of cotton etamlne and lined with yellow sateen had a decoration around the bottom of chintz applique in yellow and green. The design was of tall, yellow popples with green leaves, and the applique was ao put on that the flowers stood up all around the bottom Of the bag. The foliage, of course, was around the bottom edge of the bag, while the flowers came half way to the top. Knitting. Afghan shawls, etc., of sephyr. and Germantown wool on two needles ia also a highly jmpular industry among the fair sex.
