October 1932 issue of Garden Studio Quarterly and Weaving Service by Myra L. Davis and Kate Van Cleve. It gives instructions for a Swedish embroidery weave, in which cross-stitch patterns from the Danish book Vaevebog for Hjemmene are picked up over groups of warp threads with a sail needle and a binder weft. It includes a twill-threaded draft from the John Landes collection, with full directions and sketches for weaving and making up an under-arm purse, a change purse and a coin purse, and ends with an old coverlet pattern draft from about 1820 with warp, weft and yardage notes for cushions and runners.
