Double issue (Vol. 69, Nos. 1 & 2, 1986) of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club. It is devoted almost entirely to Patricia Wardle's article on a c. 1615-35 Dutch embroidery pattern-book in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with designs for stomachers, sleeves, caps, gloves, purses, knife-cases, pincushions and sword belts. The article dates and localizes the book by comparing its designs with embroidery in Dutch portraits (Hals, Mierevelt, Moreelse and others) and surviving pieces, and discusses the relationship between painters, embroiderers and pattern-drawers. The issue also has notes on authors, book notes (including Icelandic embroidery publications by Elsa Gudjónsson), club notes, an in memoriam, and advertisements.
