After mounting Dragonfly and Ladybug on the stretchers I started on the upper left blue area. A very long strand of antique gold cord is laid across the canvas and couched down diagonally, left to right, with one strand of Slate Gloriana silk. Do not end off the cord, instead bring it back across to the opposite side of the canvas and couch with the silk only this time stitching the diagonal in the opposite direction. Then in about a half an hour the first row is done. I think this correct, it's late and I'm sleepy and will re-check in the daylight! I will see you back here when this first section is complete.
