Kit: Bucilla, Country Morn No.1943 Tablecloth (50”x50”), Turquoise
Description
NOTE: TEMPORARY PHOTOS
A completed tablecloth from the Bucilla cross stitch kit series, “Country Morn”, based on Country Prints’ “Good Morning U226” towel/wallhanging; see images. This kit was offered in red and turquoise colorways. This example is turquoise.
The instruction sheet for the tea towel kit in this series bears the notation “S/66” at the end of the instruction text, which may be Bucilla’s code for when the kit was released, Spring or Summer of 1966. This would follow Country Prints’ introduction of the “Good Morning” towel that inspired these pieces by at least three years. The towel was released c.1963.
