Article by Georgiana Brown Harbeson on four American women artists who work in crewel embroidery or "needlepainting" as a form of modern art: Marguerite Zorach, Marcia Stebbins, Mrs. Arthur Crisp (Mary Ellen Crisp) and the author. It compares their styles, stitch choices, backgrounds and compositions, and argues for crewel work over canvas work as a medium for individual design. Illustrated with plates of Stebbins's boating panel and Crisp's "Diana" panel, plus a plate of the seven most-used stitches (Cretan, feather, buttonhole, chain, fly, satin).
