Issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club, a New York club for needlework, lace and weaving enthusiasts. The main article, by Frances Little, surveys crewel embroidery from antiquity through English work of the late 17th and 18th centuries, its Indian palampore influences, and colonial American examples, illustrated with museum pieces. A second article transcribes the royal warrant lists for the trousseau, bridesmaids' gowns and bridal chamber furnishings of Princess Elizabeth, daughter of James I, for her 1613 marriage. Club Notes report 1927-28 meetings, including a showing of Eva Palmer Sikelianos's handwoven costume fabrics, and Book Notices review works on domestic needlework and painted and printed fabrics.
