A 1898 Ladies' Home Journal page by Mrs. L. Barton Wilson presenting swallow-themed embroidery designs for a set of dining-room linen: a running border for a tablecloth, a round centrepiece, a plate doily, and a sideboard scarf design. The text gives advice on long-and-short stitch and outline stitch, simplicity of design, and a color scheme of grays, white, black and pink floss. It notes that full-size perforated patterns could be ordered from the journal's Art Bureau.
