This is the May/June 1990 issue of "Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" magazine. It contains 32 projects, including a "Whitework Sampler," instructions for stitching on silk gauze, and "Cross-Stitch Fashion."

Review:
A beautiful spring issue of a classic craft magazine. The projects reflect the gentle, romantic "cottage" style of 1990, with a focus on soft colors and charming, slightly nostalgic themes.

Author summary:
"Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" was a leading magazine for stitchers throughout the 1980s and 90s, known for its blend of traditional needlework techniques (like whitework) with the popular country decorating aesthetic.

The collectible value is low. This popular magazine is not rare. Its value is for the specific, high-quality patterns and as a historical artifact of early-90s craft and fashion trends.
