Flower Easter Lily Embroidery Design to do by Hand with Lovely Silk Threads

Flower Embroidery

I know last week I shared a cross stitch embroidery pattern and I try to change things up every week, but I found this Easter Lily embroidery design and couldn’t resist.

I love the old embroidery books put out by the silk thread makers. The flower designs are amazing. This Easter Lily color plate is from a M. Hemingway & Sons Silk Company book. A Treatise on Embroidery-Crochet and Knitting with Illustrations dated 1899-1900.

Isn’t this a beautiful cover:

M. Hemingway & Sons Thread and Color Chart

Before I share the flower chart with you, I’ve added a page that will be helpful in embroidering this Easter Lily.

One is the types of threads the company manufactured. The flower is embroidered in Japan Floss, the finest size thread.

I found this handy little chart on another colored plate. Not only does it show a sample of the color thread, it also includes the number next to it.

The numbers are a little hard to read. Use the Easter Lily Colored Plate above to best determine the correct colors. After you save it, you can enlarge the file to see it better in your photo software or print to trace the flower.

Follow the numbers and letters for the direction of the stitches. There are several shades of each color.
