Uvas Design Embroidered Pillow on orange

This circular design is a favorite for its versatility. Depending on the fabrics and stitches selected, Uvas can be formal or casual, traditional or modern. Designed by Pamela Nelson.

Every cent of every piece sold goes back to our associates in Honduras. Every day, these women expertly craft table runners, pillow covers, shawls, and other fiber arts items. Their income from each sale covers food and medical needs for their whole family, and school supplies and transportation to school for their children.  Ultimately, this work creates dignity and self-respect.

Designed by artist Pamela Nelson, Uvas is a beautiful, timeless design that works as a sophisticated accent to your living room, or as a framed piece of art. Nelson said her life’s course was set watching her grandmother’s hands making handwork items from fabric. Full circle from start to finish and back again to start is how she said her work progresses. An artist-citizen of the City of Dallas, Pamela closely identifies with urban life. She has contributed to public art at DFW Airport, five DART light rail stations, Northpark Center, First United Methodist Church of Richardson, and several local hospitals. Her outreach includes working with Honduras Threads, the Stewpot Open Art Program, and Incarnation House. Pamela's work is in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, El Paso Museum of Art, and several American embassies abroad. She served on the U. S. Commission of Fine Arts in Washington D.C. from 2001-2011.
