free shipping in continental USA Pam Gill, needle art Pam Gill's wonderful needle art was discovered in a small art shop in Waynesville Ohio. Her appreciation for early American art, especially textiles, pincushions, sewing birds, sewing pockets and roll-ups, crewel embroidery, and canvas work, inspired Pam to try her hand at re-creating these beautiful items. Most of Pam's work is exact reproduction from museum photos of 18th and 19th century textiles.. Many of these meticulous reproductions of historic hand sewn items require months to create. I have been searching for a maker of tommorrows needle art heirlooms. Welcome Pam Gill.
AAPG001 One of a Kind 18th Century Reproduced Queen Stitched Ladies Pocketbook by Pam Gill $1250. This extraordinary one of a kind piece has been exquisitely reproduced. All hand done in the "queen" stitch, required months of tedious work, and has resulted in this lovely reproduction of an 18th century ladies pocketbook. The original ladies pocketbook can be seen in the Time Life American Country Series, entitled The Needle Arts book, page 26. I have included a photo of the original as seen in this book. The queen stitch was mainly used for small items during the 18th - 19th centuries because it is such a time-consuming and very difficult stitch to do. The color of threads used and the pattern design are taken from a photo in the needle arts book. The pocketbook measures 6 3/4 W x 8 3/4" H when fully open. It is lined with a salmon colored satin fabric and has two pockets. It is aged to look worn and used. $1250. Includes shipping for this one of a kind piece.
