Stitchery kits today - most of these were out of McCall's Needlework and Crafts magazines from the 1970's, with a focus today mostly on crewel work. I know Tina will like this first one - beautiful nasturtiums!

More pretty flowers from LeeWards:

These, below, are all absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had every single one of these! From Better Homes And Gardens, circa 1968:

I believe this will be the first in a series of posts featuring vintage needlework such as these, simply because I enjoy sharing them with you!
