John Scrimgeour, minister of Kinghorn, who, having a beloved child sick to death of the crewels, was free to expostulate with his Maker with such impatience of displeasure, and complaining so bitterly, that at length it was said unto him, that he was heard for this time, but that he was requested to use no such boldness in time coming; so that when he returned he found the child sitting up in the bed hale and fair, with all its wounds closed, and supping its parritch, whilk babe he had left at the time of death.
Right WHITE COTTON VEST embroidered in colors. Eighteenth-nineteenth century American. Eighteenth-nineteenth century American. Worked in crewels on India cotton, by Mrs. It is curious to contrast the effect of this loss of embroidery in the two countries, England and America.
'What will you wear? asked a third, knowing that Miss Dulcie was weak about dress, and had a morbid craving for originality. 'Well, dears, began Miss Dulcie, growing radiant at the thrilling question, 'I have been thinking of making up my art needlework tunic the pale green, you know, with garlands of passion flowers, worked in crewels over a petticoat of the faintest primrose.
"I think one ought to be liberal," Mildred argued gently. "We've always been so, even from the earliest times." "Ah well," said Isabel, "you've made a great success of it; I don't wonder you like it.

Clara and Mrs. Purdie were matching crewels; and, sitting on the top step Flora instructed Kerr as to the composition of the tropical glacier they were drinking. Ten girls had probably so instructed him before, but it would do to fill up the gap. It was so, Flora thought, they were all feeling.

It is impossible to say how much Theo was ashamed of himself when, after Chatty's quite unaccustomed address, which surprised herself as much as her brother and sister, and after an hour of silence, broken by an occasional observation, the girls put aside their crewels again, and remarked that it was time to go to bed.
A sampler is still in existence which she made at the age of eleven, a fine specimen of needle-work with the family record surrounded by a wreath of strawberries all carefully wrought in crewels.
