Hays's illustrated study of Chinese women's skirts of the Qing dynasty (construction, gores and pleating, embroidery stitches and colors, wedding and festival wear, floral symbolism, flower-of-the-month tables, notes); Alan Kennedy and Lucy Maitland's study of flat metallic strips in Central and East Asian textiles, with plates and stitch diagrams of couching on a gauze foundation; and Jenny Durkin's essay linking Peruvian Nazca loop stitch to Elizabethan Ceylon stitch. It closes with author notes, club notes for 1988, an In Memoriam, a list of officers, and advertisements including Metropolitan Museum needlework kits.
