I owned a quilt shop in the 1980's and we carried cross stitch supplies too. Last night I was going through the books and patterns that I had saved so I could decide which ones to send to a missionary who is reaching women through needlework.
Here is a pattern that I made several times. I thought I would make them into gifts for friends. The date on my piece is 1988 and I have 2 more somewhere. I'm only 20 years late giving them to someone.
I liked this one so well I bought it twice. I loved the Prairie Schooler patterns and even have books 1 and 2. I don't know if they are still a company or not. The designs are more country or primitive than my decorating so I never had a place to hang the ones I did. I can decorate with their Christmas designs though.
I'm off to work again today. Tomorrow is the family reunion. My dad (94) and his cousin (90) are the only 2 left from their generation. I have talked my parents into going this year. I doubt if the reunion will continue when the cousin is gone.
