Rare Fleur Cowles Strawberry Basket w Butterfly Art Repro Crewel Embroidery Kit

The amazing Fleur Cowles had a unique and almost indescribable "Flair" with her Vibrant artwork. A Legendary lady who lived to 101 years of age, Fleur was well known as a very influential writer, painter, illustrator. She was creator and editor of the all too short-lived but legendary none-the-less magazine, Flair. One of the most prominent public personages of the twentieth century, in her later years she became a society hostess whose guest-list constantly consisted of a veritable Who’s Who. Her vibrant art has been beautiful reproduced in a few Fine Art needlecraft pieces for Bucilla in the 1970's, and this large panel is a prize for her collectors. You'll work virgin wools and cotton flosses on a yellow Belgian linen panel. Perfect to add to your existing collection; and a lovely piece to start one, too! This long out of production treasure arrived in overly shopworn packaging which has been replaced to keep piece clean and ready to work.
