The Crisscross Kids Cross Stitch

        Margaret, Virginia and Orlin Donaldson have designed a new set of playmates, the Crisscross family, who live in a world of squares. You can play a great many games with them. You can cut them out, and paste them on cardboard, or you can draw new Crisscross people on the empty squares, or you can make patchwork or embroidery around the designs. Or you can copy these pictures on paper ruled in squares-your mother will help you make it. Last, but not least, you can stitch these cross stitch people on any fabric item you like: pillow cases, towels, blue jeans or for a framed picture too! Designs by the Donaldson Children - authentically 1920s!
