Anytime I’m at estates sales, auctions or garage sales, I always look for needlework kits or patterns.  Here’s why.

Reminds me of Sunbonnet Sue.

Vintage Eva Rosenstand/Clara Waever Cross Stitch Kit SOLD $410.00 By eBay Seller Nikkiprm.  Check it out HERE.

Here’s what the seller has to say:

This wonderful counted cross stitch kit from Denmark was purchased in the late 1970s or early 1980s and was never worked.  The kit is number 12-479.  The design is based on a watercolor by Swedish artist Carl Larsson and depicts an early 1900s Swedish kitchen.  The kit is complete and contains cream 24 or 25 count linen (approximately 30 ½ inches by 21 ½ inches), Eva Rosenstand cotton threads, 2 needles, 4 thread organizers, and an extra large, easy-to-read stitch chart.  Instructions are written in English as well as Danish and German.  Also included is a copy of the watercolor print shown in the eBay photo.  The kit has not been worked but some of the thread has been put into one of the thread organizers.  The kit is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful heirloom when completed.

This is so beautiful!  I love the daisies!

Vintage Progress Iris Appliqué Quilt Kit Sold $235.00 by delightfulgarden.  Check it out HERE.

Here’s what the seller has to say:

This is a Progress quilt kit # 1403 “The Iris “. It measures 81′ x 99″ and is stamped  on a yellow background. There is a sample fabric piece on the front of the envelope and next to it is the word “Gold” so it’s probably a special edition. The kit includes stamped yellow quilt top, bias tape for stems and quilt edge, instructions, and stamped appliqué pieces.

I have this same quilt kit in white and noticed that this kit did not come with the gold  appliqué fabric so I will include a photo copy of my stamped fabric  so you can make your own appliqués. I’ve purchased a few kits with incomplete appliqués and I’m sure the seller had no clue, and you can easily make up your own, but it would be nice to have a copy for any detail embroidery stitches.

The quilt top is in good condition with some barely visible yellowing along the center fold. I didn’t include a picture because it didn’t show up. The 3rd picture shows a yellow stain in the corner of the quilt which is to the right of the number 196.

The bias tape for the stems is cut with some still remaining on the card along with the green bias tape for the edging. The bias stems were sewn in place on 2 corners and all the side, top and bottom flowers. 1 corner is partially done and the 4th  corner has no stems sewn in place. There are no stems sewn on the center flowers nor are any appliqué pieces cut or sewn on.

Here’s what the seller says about it:

I am downsizing my collectibles and needlework stash. This auction is for The Williamsburg Sewing Case Kit by Merry Cox.  I took this workshop and stitched some of the front cover during class.  I haven’t touch it since.  It was a fun class and I liked the piece.  But life got in the way.

All of the fabric and threads are in the kit, including the lining fabric, batting and interfacing.  Needles are included, even a curved needle for the finishing.

The instructions have a few hand written notes I made during the class..

2 of these kids are not mine.. They are at boy scout camp.. they need to come

home because #2 is going crazy without his friends… I kind of miss them too…

I like how #2 has on a Auctiva T-shirt..

Rare Elvis Presley Guitar Pick Las Vegas Hilton 1975 $878.89  Sold by jj7439.  Check it out HERE.

Here’s what they have to say:  Very RARE Elvis Presley Guitar Pick used in concert at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1975. I had a guitar that I gave him with little gold and silver records pasted to the entire body of the guitar. He laughed, pulled me on the stage and said, “Welcome to ‘Let’s Make A Deal’ “. He then went on to say that the only thing thing that he had to give me was a scarf and his last guitar pick for the night’s show.

The King then took off is his scarf, wiped his forehead and chest with the scarf and put it around my neck. He then pulled me close with the scarf and kissed me! The kiss is not for sale! He then reached into his pocket, pulled out the guitar pick and gave it to me. It was the last guitar pick that he had and used for the evening’s show.

I have kept the guitar pick with the scarf in a clear plastic bag since he gave it to me. It has never been washed and contains the fading aroma of his cologne.

The condition of the guitar pick is as it was in 1975, showing visible signs of wear from his concert, which adds character and value. However, I believe that adds the personal touch to the pick.

The guitar pick is approximately 1.25″ X 1.25″ – the size of most bass players’ picksl
