Looking for Petit Point kits

I'm looking for information on Petit Point kits, patterns, etc. I've
checked several local craft shops but none have had Petit Point; at one
store the proprietor referred to it as "a lost art form".

The info is for my aunt. She showed me a kit that was probably 40 years
old. The package said "Alice Godkin / Petit Point & Needle Point Designs /
Woolcraft / Regina & Vancover / small / 120x120 stitches". The whole thing
was only a few inches across and done with very fine stitches. I'd like to
find a source for similar kits.

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

This query seems to have been posted a number of years ago. Did you ever find a petit point shop for your aunt?

My guess is that, since this post is 19 years old, he's no longer
looking for it. I checked, and he's still at the U of Rochester, though!

Sewgirls (or whatever they're calling themselves now) are at it again...
sigh.

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

But at least this time it was NOTICED by the quasi-OP that this was an
old post, as opposed to the number of SewBimbos who respond to
20-year-old posts as if they're brand new.
