This is the Jan/Feb 1988 issue of "Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" magazine. It contains 26 projects, with the cover featuring a large wooden clock with a cross-stitched sampler face. Other themes include valentines and Victorian portraits.

Review:
An issue that perfectly represents the sophisticated, heirloom-quality projects that "Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" was known for. The clock project is a stunning and ambitious example of how cross-stitch was integrated into woodworking and home decor.

Author summary:
"Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" was a premier magazine for needleworkers in the 80s and 90s, often featuring complex, heirloom-style projects that combined cross-stitch with other crafts like woodworking and fine finishing techniques.

The collectible value is low. This popular magazine is not rare. Its value is for the high-quality patterns, especially the ambitious clock project, and its historical representation of the late-80s "country elegant" style.
