Short article describing three dated embroideries from the collection of Mrs. Cornelius J. Sullivan: a French cushion cover of 1617 worked in wool and silk on woollen serge, American crewel bed hangings signed Miriam Webb, 1756, and silk pole-screen panels marked R. I., 1804. It covers colors, dyes, materials, dimensions and the stitches used, including the so-called New England (Roumanian) stitch. Three plates illustrate the pieces, and a footnote points to other Bulletin articles on colonial crewelwork.
