Double issue (Vol. 45, Nos. 1 & 2) of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin for 1961. Gertrude Townsend's long article surveys English embroidery of the Tudor and Stuart periods through wills, inventories, royal accounts and New Year gift lists, illustrated with pieces in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: an appliqué panel, a doublet and stomacher, coifs, a pillow cover, an unfinished sleeve, a cap, cushion covers, samplers, a needlepoint cabinet and a 1686 crewel panel. Edith A. Standen's "Garrick on Cotton" identifies the scenes on an 18th-century English printed cotton toile as drawn from Garrick's play "Lethe" and from theatrical prints. The issue ends with Club Notes (index announcement, 1961 meetings) and the list of officers for 1962.
