    • Needlecraft Patterns

    Leading into the early 1960's, Needlecraft Services published separate catalogs for the Mail Order Designs of Laura Wheeler and Alice Brooks.  In 1963, the company combined the two catalogs into one, which was named 'Needlecraft Patterns'.    In the newspaper advertisements. the individual patterns remained identified as either Alice Brooks or Laura Wheeler. The combined catalog referenced neither name, just the pattern numbers only.
