This is the Sept/Oct 1990 issue of "Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" magazine. It includes 19 projects, with a cover featuring a detailed portrait of a baby in a washbowl, plus a bonus pattern for a Santa doll.

Review:
A charming issue with a very popular "country" theme. The baby-in-a-washbowl design is an iconic example of the sentimental, slightly rustic style of portraiture that was immensely popular in the early 90s.

Author summary:
"Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" was a premier magazine for needleworkers in the 80s and 90s. It was known for its blend of detailed, heirloom-style cross-stitch projects with the enduring popularity of the "country living" aesthetic.

The collectible value is low. This popular magazine is not rare. Its value is for the high-quality patterns, particularly the classic baby portrait, and as a historical artifact of early-90s country-style decor.
