November 1954 issue (Portfolio Edition) of the Shuttle Craft Guild Handweaver's Bulletin, edited by Harriet Tidball. It explains the Italian Manner of weaving overshot, a three-shuttle, no-tabby polychrome rotation weave, with treadle and shuttle rotations for blocks A-D and design advice, and describes a Royarn (orlon) sample made for the Portfolio. Other items include eight Guild members' handwoven Christmas cards, a piece on color harmony with the Cheskin color wheel, child and adult Christmas aprons, a question on placing two shots in a shed, a list of Native American craft booklets, a note on the Rapidograph drafting pen, and the Threadbender Letter. Drafts by Mrs Charles Mackenzie (extended point twill and hybrid) appear on one page, and a photo plate shows the Christmas cards.
