I wish this company would publish a few more books of the Best loved designs from Cross Stitch and Country Crafts because I would buy all of them! This magazine was known for wonderful patterns of all types and always delighted me with the results when i stitched them. Now I have many of my favorites in a single volume. My book was in great condition and was inexpensive even with postage and handling! I was so excited to find a cross-stitch pattern for a tryptich that I started and then couldn't find the pattern for the rest of it!

The book was in the shape that it was described, and shipped quickly.

Liberty House A 5 x 7 mini-sampler, just a neat house underneath an ever neater tree, complete with eagle and flag No special stitches or anything, you could always add some in the lettering or the tiny borders and ding-bats, or even the grass or bricks on the house.

Frances Pool Sampler Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle has reproduced an antique sampler that is big on traditional motifs and easy on the stitching! Originally worked by 13yr old schoolgirl Frances Pool in , the antique has colors on the back that are still bright, but the front has aged quite a bit.

Faded flosses and darkened linen are the enemies time brings to needlework. Brenda has re-charted her sampler -- lots of fabric and threads are missing from the original, and she has chosen softer colors than Frances used -- because in -- we 'expect' our reproductions to look old and honestly, sometimes not quite like that original!!! Not a bad thing -- just an observation! Anyway, Frances' sampler is lovely. It measures x stitches, is worked on Week's 30ct Parchment Linen and uses 12 different colors 17 skeins total of Weeks and Gentle Art Sampler Threads.
