I stitched a pinafore and a doll with matching pinafore for my daughter in 1988 from a pattern in the Better Homes and Gardens Cross-stitch Samplers book. I've found someone who found the pattern in the Cross Stitch Country Crafts magazine. She believes it was from 1986. Has anyone else stitched these items?

The reason I ask is that I am a student at the University of Delaware majoring in History, concentration American History. This semester I am taking a material culture seminar and our final project is to choose an object which we are to research using the theoretical principles we have learned in class. We are then to create a class presentation and write a final paper.

If you have the pattern and/or have actually created the items, would you be willing to answer a few questions which I would then use as part of my research?

Thank you in advance! -- Carolyn
