Hi all!
If anyone comes across a copy of the ‘Ultimate Joan Elliott Cross Stitch,’ please could you let me know? :)

I’m based in the U.K. but happy to look at international copies.
I have seen one on eBay, but I’m thinking it’s a bit pricey including the shipping from the U.S? (Around £80) :ribbit:

Shipping from the US can be terribly expensive - I've found it much more so than sending things to the US :-(
Will keep an eye out!

I managed to find the individual chart I needed from this collection.
If I find it cheaper somewhere I may snatch it up, but no longer desperately seeking it anymore, yay!
Thank you to Mabel and anyone else who had a look for me.

It is still pricey but not as much as the one from America.

Which chart did you find?

Good grief! Amazing how much people will be willing to pay! :shock: It's the popular rareity isn't it.
I have the Margaret Sherry Bookazine I bought new. I saw on eBay that someone was willing to pay £30+ for that.
I pleased that Wise Owl managed to find the chart that she wanted. :applesauce:

Hi Garnet,
Aw thank you or finding this :wub: . Yes £30 is a bit steep I guess :shock:

And Wendy wombat yes it is surprising how expensive they can get.
I was only after the Japanese geisha and east Asia themes. I found out this particular collection only had three so it’s not worth paying that much for it.

I found the Oriental lady as a chart on its own from eBay for 99p
The water lily chart for 99p
Eastern promise chart for £1.50.

I’m not sure when I will stitch these though :tizzy: 😅


I am looking for the Cross Stitch Collection issue 186, August 2010. And no copies anywhere on eBay, the online sites don’t have digital versions that go back that far. So I’m not sure where else I find back issues from that long ago 🤷🏽‍♀️
