Embroideries for the Summer Home
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A 1919 Needlecraft magazine article by Grace E. Macomber describing a set of summer-home embroideries (pillow, scarf, centerpiece and tray-cover) worked with a vase-and-tulip motif in blue, green, black and yellow on butcher-cloth. It gives the stitches used (satin stitch, outline stitch, long-and-short stitch, French knots) and written crochet instructions for a narrow edging in coarse cotton. Pattern numbers and prices for stamped goods and floss are listed. The page also carries a short unrelated piece on wearing and caring for veils and a reader tip on substituting sewing thread for crochet cotton.
