WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: This is a masterpiece micro petit point pillow. The front of the pillow features a floral motif design of colorful flowers and green fern leaves on a lovely red background. There is a braided stitched trim in a soft ivory. An endless number of delicate stitches unite to create its elegant design. It is a captivating conversation starter, a tiny heirloom to be treasured. This is a vintage, one-of-a-kind creation made by the talented IGMA Fellow, Sharon Garmize, who is renowned for her fine petit point needlework. She did all of her needlework on silk gauze, and this pillow has a beautiful silk back in a coordinating ivory white color as a sumptuous detail. This is very rare to find... once in a great while you can find a 'pillow kit' that she used to sell, but one made by her and nonetheless a commissioned piece is extremely rare. Sharon created over 40 pillows for the former owner over a 10 year period.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
