Double issue (Vol. 67, Nos. 1 & 2, 1984) of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin. The first article, by Dr. Linda Welters, examines embroidery on Greek women's chemises in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, grouped by region (Attica, Corinthia, Thessaly/Trikeri, Epirus, Ionian Islands, Dodecanese, Eastern Aegean). It gives photographs with technical analyses of fibers, stitches and colors, and an appendix listing the museum's chemises. The second article, by June Burns Bové, describes Marian Powys' annotated lace scrapbooks in the Palisades Free Library and the Newark Museum, with a numbered catalog of samples (reticello, punto in aria, Venetian point, Argentan, pillow laces, Irish laces). The issue closes with author notes, book reviews (including lace pattern books and a Savonnerie volume), club notes, an In Memoriam page, and advertisements.
