Sterling Silver Bear’s Paw quilt pin – $125


IMG_2225 I make this sterling silver pin by hand-sawing the top piece of sheet silver with the Bear's Paw quilt pattern.  This pattern is thought to have been developed by American frontier women who found 4-clawed bear tracks around their cabins.  I then hammer-texture a cloth effect into the surface and then solder it to a second solid square of silver.  I oxidize it for an antique look and then hand polish.  This pin measures 1-1/2" on a side.  The pattern name is engraved on the back.
