I started stitching back in the early 80's. My Granny A. would buy me little kits to work on when I would stay with her in the summer. Then she started buying them for holidays and birthdays once I got hooked. As you can tell by the price tag in the picture these kits were purchased a long time ago. I found a receipt in there that was dated 1986! Yep, I kid you not!
This is the finished "Swedish Ivy" kit from the picture above.
I spent many an hour sitting on the porch swing propped up on a pile of pillows happily stitching away! That's my dream now to be able to do just that again! Too bad Granny is no longer around to share my stitching with. I know she'd enjoy seeing how the seed she planted so very long ago has really taken off. Sigh!
This is one from a magazine. I can't remember which one now.
If you post a picture of a golden oldie on your blog, let me know in the comments! I'd love to stop by and have a look! Thank you so much for stopping by and drifting down memory lane with me today.
Until next time,
The Inspired Stitcher

Thank you for sharing such lovely memories about your granny. Your kits still look wonderful:) Priceless tokens from your Granny.
Yes I have a few old projects I had stitched back in the 80's. One day I will post photos of them. Always a pleasure visiting you.
