Leisure Arts: The Magazine by Leisure Arts (Crafts, Magazine, 1988, Leisure Arts, 80s crafts, autumn crafts, vintage magazine, southwestern style)

This is the October 1988 issue of "Leisure Arts: The Magazine". It features 25 projects, including autumn designs for linenband, a quick-knit jacket, "spooky sweats" for Halloween, and Claudia Anderson's Canada Geese.

Review:
A beautiful fall issue from a major craft publisher. The Southwestern-style cactus designs are a great example of the regional and stylistic trends that were popular in the late 80s, moving beyond the standard country motifs.

Author summary:
Leisure Arts is a leading publisher of craft instructions. Claudia Anderson is a designer known for her realistic wildlife patterns, particularly birds like the Canada Geese featured in this issue.

The collectible value is low. Leisure Arts magazines are common and not rare. Its value is for the specific patterns and its historical interest as a snapshot of late-80s autumn and Southwestern-inspired craft trends.
