Review:
A fun and quirky collection of patterns that perfectly captures a certain 1980s aesthetic. The designs are simple, text-based, and humorous, ideal for creating gag gifts or office decor from that era.
Author summary:
Canterbury Designs and designer Angie Newton were part of the 1980s cross-stitch boom, producing patterns that often featured cute characters, witty sayings, and humorous takes on daily life, like the "Important People" series.
The collectible value is low. This is a vintage pattern book with a very specific, dated sense of humor and style. Its value is not in rarity, but in its nostalgic, kitschy appeal.
