i just purchased several needlework Vintage kits (1980-90) from an estate sale, could I get peoples opinions on which seems to be most popular crewel, needlepoint, embroidery or cross stitch. Thanks

That's a tough question...if you can do one type of needlework, you can do all the types of needlework mentioned. Seems like there have been trends through the years--one type being more popular than another. For someone like me and the people I've known who do needlework, it's the appeal of the kit (the theme, appearance, colors, etc.), rather than the type of needlework to complete it. I will say that cross stitch is a perennial favorite because it is so easy.
