530.—­Quarter of a Square in Guipure d’Art.

Materials:  One guipure frame; Mecklenburg thread Nos. 6 and 12; needle
No. 7.

[Illustration:  530.—­Quarter of a Square in Guipure d’Art.]

This pattern shows, in full size, one quarter of a square in guipure d’art.  The outer border is in point d’esprit, then comes a border in linen stitch.  There are large stars in the corners; these stars are worked in raised darning stitch only, and fastened on the netting at the points of each brand; in the centre of the star there is a wheel (see No. 515) edged with button-hole stitch.  The pattern for the centre, one quarter of which only is seen in the illustration, consists of 4 branches forming small triangles in point de Bruxelles, 4 open-worked stars or wheels worked over 4 holes of the netting, and a four-branched centre of point de feston with a wheel in the middle.

531 and 532.—­Square Patterns in Guipure d’Art.

Materials:  Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.’s linen thread No. 2 for the netting, and their Mecklenburg thread for the guipure stitches No. 8.

No. 531.  The outer border of this pretty square is worked in point d’esprit, the inner border in point de toile; then follows a round of small wheels or rosettes.

For these, fasten the cotton to one of the knots of the first square stitch of this round, work one loop upon each of the three other knots, so as to form a slanting cross; then work round the centre point of the cross, passing alternately under and over its branches, then twist the cotton over the threads of the foundation until the next square is reached, and begin another wheel.

[Illustration:  532.—­Square Pattern in Guipure d’Art.]

The centre of No. 531 is composed of wheels and point de reprise; the pattern round the centre is worked in point de feston, differing a little from that given on pages 505 and 506, but the illustration clearly shows the difference.

No. 532 has similar borders to No. 531; the centre is occupied by a star (see page 512) in point de feston; four large wheels surround this; the square stitches between are filled with small wheels and with groups of long loops, fastened together in sheaves.  Point d’esprit and point de toile, worked one way only, complete this square.

533 to 536.—­Four Patterns in Guipure d’Art.

Material:  Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.’s Mecklenburg thread No. 2 or 16, according to the size of the work.

These four patterns will be found useful for filling up small squares, or for varying the usual groundwork of point d’esprit.
