Product Description
Every Stitch for You! (Counted Cross-Stitch) by Women's Circle (likely) (Crafts, Ephemera, c. 1980s, cross-stitch, 80s ephemera, craft mailer, subscription, vintage ads)
This is an issue or promotional mailer for "Counted Cross-Stitch" magazine, sent to a subscriber. The cover page, titled "Every Stitch for You!", welcomes the reader and mentions a special offer inside.
Review:
This appears to be a promotional mailer or a very simple, early issue of a subscription-based craft magazine, showing the direct-to-consumer model that was popular for craft publications.
Author summary:
This is likely from the same "Women's Circle Counted Cross-Stitch" publisher, but presented as a direct-mail subscription piece. This method of building a subscriber base with special offers was a common business model for special interest magazines.
The collectible value is very low. This is a piece of ephemera, likely a free supplement or a simple newsletter-style magazine. It has no rarity or monetary value, but holds minor historical interest as an example of 1980s direct mail marketing for crafters.
