Double issue of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin for 1959 with three articles. Dorothy Norris Harkness surveys Romanian embroidery on hand-woven pansa, covering regional styles, stitches, natural dyes, and metallic thread and pulled work, with many plates of blouses and table covers. Harold B. Burnham traces a Spanish velvet weave derived from 3/1 twill through chests, vargueño desks, embroideries and vestments, using drawloom pulley-cord counts and warp twist to attribute velvets to Spain, with weave diagrams and technical analyses. Adolph S. Cavallo discusses an Irish copperplate-printed chintz, the 'Volunteer Furniture' of 1782, and its historical context. Club notes, an In Memoriam, and a list of officers follow.
