This is the Dec/Jan 1989 issue of "Cross Quick," a magazine for cross-stitch lovers. The cover features a sampler of freshwater fish, and other projects include last-minute gifts, ornaments, and pillow-making.

Review:
A great issue for fish and wildlife enthusiasts. The detailed, realistic fish sampler is a fantastic project for a cabin, den, or as a gift, showcasing the magazine's focus on quick yet impressive designs.

Author summary:
"Cross Quick" was a magazine that emerged during the cross-stitch boom to serve stitchers who preferred faster, more accessible projects than the large, complex samplers featured in some other publications.

The collectible value is low. "Cross Quick" was a popular magazine, so back issues are not rare. Its value is for the specific patterns, especially the well-designed fish chart, and as a historical example of late-80s craft magazine design.
