bY MARY LOU GOERTZEN     Up for sale is a completed, hand crafted and framed Crewel Embroidery.

It is covered in plastic and has been on storage for many years. There is some issues with the mat as there are some gouges. You might be able to add a wood putty or some other substance to smooth out the area.

There may be some scratches on the frame that may need to be touched up with wood color marker. 

Also included in the listing is a picture of an actual kit which is shown for reference only as this does not come with a kit.

This picture was a model to a needpoint kit which would have been on display in a store to show the prospective buyers how the item will look when finished. It was covered in plastic when displayed to protect the picture and the plastic was removed to take the picture. I was able to acquire quite a few of them; some were just matted and others framed.

I

learned recently that the name on many of these finished pieces identified the

company as JCA Inc. with an address in Massachusettes. They evidently ceased

operations and will not be making/distributing anymore needlecraft kits. These

finished piece from kits are already hard to find and will only be offered

occasionally perhaps on the internet. Per the JCA website:

"Due to the death of our owner,

Alan S. Getz, JCA, Inc. has ceased operations indefinitely.

We would like to thank

our loyal customers who have supported JCA for over 50 years.

JCA manufactures

premium needlecraft products and distributes fine knitting yarns. We are an

amalgamation of three companies-Paternayan Brothers (started in 1939), Elsa

Williams (started in 1960) and Reynolds Yarns (also started in 1960)."

Payment with paypal within 3 days of sale.

Will ship within buiness day to US addresses only.
