The Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club, Vol. 30, Nos. 1 & 2 (1946)
Combined Volume 30, Nos. 1 & 2 (1946) of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club. Nancy Graves Cabot's long illustrated article traces the engravings and woodcuts (Bernard Salomon, Gerard de Jode after Martin de Vos, Jost Amman and others) that served as pattern sources for Scriptural scenes in Tudor and Stuart embroideries, including valances, petit-point panels and embroidered bookbindings. Phyllis Ackerman discusses early textile production in China, with notes on weave identification, cord appliqué and Chinese traditions. R. J. Charleston examines Coptic wool-weaves with patterns in undyed linen, covering technique, loom set-up, motifs and a descriptive list of pieces in the Bankfield Museum and other collections. The issue ends with club notes and the list of officers.
