and involved with the art of
embroidery, particularly
crewel work throughout the
last ten years of her life.

18th century ‘Bouquet’ tied
with ribbons accentuates her
skill in the use of colour and
the complete control of her
medium of stitch directfon and

Nancy met and fell in love
with Allan Pendray. They
married and had two children.
Allan, at the time of his
retirement a few years ago
was President of the British
America Paint Company in
Victoria.

The exhibition of his late
wife’s art work is the only one
which will be held, as they are
soon to be dispersed amongst
members of the family.

received a great deal of
assistance from the Blood
Bank during her illness and all
proceeds from the show will
go to the Red Cross.

Former Victoria antique
dealer Peggy Bartholomew 10
years ago introduced Mrs.
Pendray to the highly in-
tricate art form of crewel
work. Mrs. Bartholomew, an
expert in the field, was at, that
time giving lessons in crewel
work to interested women in-
the Victoria area.

“Mrs. Pendray was one of
my first pupils,” says Mrs.
Bartholomew. ‘She started
with a series of three pieces
and although she made
mistakes in those pieces, she
had the patience to practice
and the desire to develop the
technique.”’

Over the ensuing decade
Nancy worked steadily on a,
number of highly complex and
intricate pieces, all of which
