A short reminiscence by Marian Powys about the early years of the Needle and Bobbin Club in New York. She recalls club lectures and parties, including a talk on flowers in lace design and a viewing of the Unicorn Tapestry. She also describes the lace collections of members such as Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Fahnestock, Mrs. Hawkes, Mrs. Blum, Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. Vanderpoel. She mentions the book Antique Laces of American Collectors by Marian Hague and Frances Morris, and Vanderpoel's American Lace and Lace-Makers.
