I stitched this Little Red Schoolhouse Paragon Crewel Embroidery Kit 0624 in the late 1970’s.
My memory is I got the kit by sending in Campbell’s Soup labels.
My crewel-embroidery-on-linen period.
Someone is selling a completed one for $124. Framed.
But you can still buy this vintage kit on Etsy or EBay for anywhere from $12 to $40
