Lot Of 7 Cross Stitch

This listing is for:  Lot of 7 Cross Stitch Pattern Magazines. They span from 1988 through 1991. There are 175 patterns in this listing and they are listed below with a few photos of each listing included in the photo section. They are in such great condition for their age. These are all from my mom's cherished collection. She kept them in such good condition. Most of them don't look like she ever used them. Some are just like when they were purchased or close to it. The conditions of each booklet will be detailed below.  My Mom was so very talented and had a hard live. Cross Stitching, Knitting & Crocheting brought her soul peace and a true sense of accomplishment. I think that is the reason that she kept them in the best condition possible. Two years before she passed away, she asked me to make sure that they travel to all the 50 states because she never could. She simply didn't want them to get thrown out or sit idle. So, far her craft collection has hit 45 states and 640 cities. I have a goal to sell them all and keep her spirit alive with every sale to another crafty spirit.

In case of a life emergency, the longest I will take is 2 days.  I will send a  confirmation when I have physically dropped  your order off at the post office.   COMBINED SHIPPING: If you want to buy more than one listing. Please click on BUY IT NOW on each listing but DO NOT PAY . Instead, send me a message that you are still shopping or done shopping and I will send you a new invoice with all your items together so I could combine shipping. PLEASE DO NOT PAY & THEN ASK FOR A CREDIT . That will make me lose quite a bit of money on the sale because sellers get charged fees on their shipping as well. Ebay does NOT credit back fees to sellers after we pass a credit to our buyer after they pay. Thank you for understanding & cooperating. SHIPPING METHOD / COST =  USPS SHIPPING METHODS HAVE BEEN CHANGED - Do NOT change the method of shipping. Since I ship pattern books/booklets/magazine with a cardboard stiff in it and place DO NOT BEND stickers on the envelopes or packages. Since the service and price changes on July 9, 2023...I am no longer allowed to use First Class Mail and cannot use Media Mail. They thoroughly inspect medial mail in my area and most of my Mom's collection have ads and such in them which is against Media Mail guidelines. I can only ship this via USPS Ground Advantage or USPS Priority Mail. If you take it upon yourself do choose any other service, I will have to cancel order and re-list it with the correct shipping method. Contact me if you have any questions before you click BUY IT NOW and I will help you in any way I can. USPS will be strict on how the packages are being shipped from now on and return the package if not correct. Thank you for understanding.   I  ALWAYS  pack items VERY carefully to  make sure they arrive in the same condition.  Shipping cost depends on weight & your zip code.   My buyers  WILL   ALWAYS  get exactly what the listing photos showed up for sale.   Thanks for visiting my order!
