A short article from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club announcing the formation of the Guild of the Needle and Bobbin Crafts, a committee of the club. The Guild aims to enlist immigrant women in New York, especially Italian and Ukrainian women, to practice and sell the embroidery, lace and weaving they learned in their native lands, as a form of cultural conservation and Americanization. The text quotes a People's Institute pamphlet on immigrant arts and describes plans for a director, file of information, settlement groups and an exhibition. One photograph shows a cushion cover and little bag made by Italian women in New York.
