This is the Nov/Dec 1989 issue of "Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" magazine. It contains 28 projects with holiday themes, including a Nutcracker sampler, Hanukkah mementos, and designs using specialty threads.

Review:
A wonderful holiday issue filled with the detailed, heirloom-quality projects the magazine was known for. The cover design is a classic example of the sentimental, storybook style of Christmas cross-stitch popular in the late 1980s.

Author summary:
"Cross Stitch & Country Crafts" was a premier magazine for needleworkers in the 80s and 90s, known for its elegant, complex designs that encouraged stitchers to create heirloom-quality pieces for holidays and special occasions.

The collectible value is low. Holiday issues of this popular magazine are not rare. Its value is for the high-quality, classic holiday patterns and as a historical artifact of late-80s Christmas crafting trends.
