I did a bunch of Jiffy Stitchery kits, some small, one large, that were Indian baskets and wheat stalks in the 70s. I guess I got sick of them because I don't have them anymore. I love the tortoise cat pillow. I have also always liked the Erica Wilson designs. Love T
Yes I also did some back in the
70s.
Probably still have a few unfinished here somewhere. After those we did counted cross stitch.
Also, a few of the hooked wool rug patterns, always craftin!!!
I have never done any stitching or embroidering etc.
I really love the abstract one on your post. Makes me want to try some of this.
I never did, but I recognize two of the progress ones - my mom made them back in the day! Such a GREAT post; thank you!
I did the Jiffy Stitchery in the 70s..I think I only did 2 little ones. This was the time of plant holder macrame (can't even remember how now) and rug hooking...I eventually gave these things to the thrift stores...actually wish I still had them.
I was happy to read all of your memories! And Tammy - how well I remember macrame plant holders, and rug hooking! I did one pillow-sized rug hooking kit, but I don't think I ever got the "hang" of macrame!
