Description: Up for sale is a Vintage completed, hand crafted crewel picture. It is a charming picture of a little mouse doing embroidery. There is even silver thread to depict a needle with thread. It comes with a lovely mauve mat which of course could be changed to a different color. The embroidery is done on off white linen. The size is 8 x 10. The fabric is stretched and stapled to plywood backing. On the back there is a label indicating that this was a sales model for kit #751 - The Embroiderer. The kit number dates this to the 1980s and has been in storage by the manufacturer all these years. Included in the listing is a picture of a kit for this picture that I found on the internet which is shown for reference only as this embroidery doesn’t come with a kit. Finding this in the future is rather slim since the company is no longer making these kits. This picture might have also been the photo model that was used for the kit packaging. This picture was a model to a embroidery kit which would have been on display in a store to show the prospective buyers how the item will look when finished. 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. (Johnson Creative Arts) 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)."
