Double issue (Vol. 48, Nos. 1 & 2, 1964) of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club. The main article, by Natalie Rothstein, studies nine English silks woven in Spitalfields from designs by Anna Maria Garthwaite (1742-1752). It covers the designs, the silk types (tobine, lustring, tabby, damask, brocade), and the mercers and weavers who bought them, including Lekeux, Vautier, Sabatier and Julins. A second article by Lisa Cook Terrace discusses an early 18th-century ink-on-parchment needlework or lace pattern, probably from New England and linked to a deed of 1719/20, with lace and embroidery comparisons. The issue ends with Club Notes and a list of officers.
