The item at 2:50 is a fly swatter holder! My parents had one back in the 70's. It hangs on the wall and you put the handle in from the top & it slides down into it! The swatters had wood handles that matched the front of the holder ... ours was never used, just for decor!! Hadn't seen one in years!

Maria Casella just keep in mind, she gets far higher prices on things than you or I would. She has a strong social media/KZread following which results in higher sold prices. If you’re buying to resell, check eBay sold comps (that aren’t hers) before you buy something.

I am so pleased that someone like you would pick up all of those beautiful cross-stitch pieces. They were wonderful, and the fact that you appreciate the work that went into each one is the most special part!! You value the time and love that went into making each one! Thank you!

We get them in to our church sales all the time. Sadly, we are lucky if we can even get a dollar for them. People do not seem to want someone else's cross stitch or needlework projects, and the young adults of today who are setting up housekeeping (boy that's an old term) aren't usually into that. I suppose it will be popular again in the future. Seems to be cycles of popularity, like roller skating rinks and bowling alleys!

The cross stitch isn’t just the stitching it’s the quality of the wooden cut outs & paint jobs. I did a lot in the day & these are definitely 80’s but that’s vintage and it’s going to be collectible.

I'm addicted to this channel ❤ I appreciate vintage items more and I've learned so much! Keep on keeping on! Love your super power!

I’ll probably paint it, and it will be fine. I’m so glad to know that perhaps someone will want to buy it. I thought the same thing as you.

Judy, cross-stitch is a series of X stitches done on cross-stitch fabric of various types like hardanger cloth. The fabric has to be very evenly woven with fairly widely spaced threads, usually 10 - 14 threads per inch. Most cross stitch fabric does not have a pattern printed on it but instead has a separate paper pattern. "Embroidery" and specialized embroidery like "crewel" or "bargello" is usually done on fabric that is tighter woven like sheeting with a pattern printed on it.

The moon cross stitch clock is termed, “primitive” in design, (not age.) That’s the keyword you’ll want to use when listing. Primitive cross stitch designs are in high fashion right now. Enjoying the content! Also, that amount of the padded medallions give the vibe of being kits, maybe localized to an area. I bet you anything, you have the designers collection. You can tell by the finishing style of course but also by the repeated use of the same font. Those are mockups for craft fairs and such. I bet her husband cut the fun frames or something and she sold the patterns with the unfinished frames. The other pieces you found are probably the rest of her personal collection, all 80’s or 90’s, except for that moon clock. That one is very different from the others and may just be coincidence that it’s there. I’d be surprised if it was older than 2010, but I’m certainly no expert.😄

Cross stitch is exactly what the name implies!:) The stitches are "x" stitches. You stitch one direction then you "cross" back over. Embroidery/needlepoint are generally mostly straight stitches.
