Combined Volume 31, Nos. 1 & 2 (1947) of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club. The bulk is Eugenia Tolmachoff's illustrated survey of Russian church embroidery from the 14th to 17th centuries, covering icon veils, shrouds, altar frontals and palls from the Staritzky, Godunov and Stroganov workshops, with notes on gold thread, pearls, jewels and stitches. Vivi Sylwan's article (translated by R. J. Charleston) examines a late-Antique Egyptian tapestry medallion with gold thread and the history of gold thread in textiles. Junius Bird describes a pre-Spanish Peruvian ikat shawl from the Viru Valley. Club notes and a list of officers close the issue.
