This is the Sept/Oct 1988 issue of "Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" magazine. It contains 38 projects, including a cow-themed alphabet sampler, a country dollhouse, and an autumn wreath.

Review:
A quintessential issue of a leading craft magazine from the peak of the 80s country craft craze. The cow-themed sampler is a perfect, charming example of the farm animal motifs that were hugely popular in home decor.

Author summary:
"Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" was a major magazine for needlework enthusiasts during the 1980s and 90s, successfully capitalizing on the immense popularity of both cross-stitch and the rustic, farm-inspired "country" decorating style.

The collectible value is low. As a popular magazine, back issues are not rare. Its value is for the specific patterns, especially the classic country designs, and as a historical piece from the late 80s.
