Many of the old chart leaflets were set up this way with numerous designs in a book, and there were many designers and companies printing them. It would be helpful to have more info or a picture, so we can point you in the right direction or someone may remember this design. Without more though, it will be tough to ID. Try googling Linda Myers cross stitch and look at the images section to see if this may be who you are thinking of but many of her older designs are no longer on her website and likely are retired. Good luck.

You can go on facebook and use the Facebook search there for the group ISO Cross Stitch Charts and ask there. It is specifically there for finding old or out of print leaflets or charts. Also ask in facebook group Stash Unload, where many stitchers sell parts of their stash...they are very helpful.

As much as many of us dislike facebook, I must say that the pattern that I had 96% completed for my sis-in-law, I found in Stash Unload, so she will finally have it for Christmas. The leaflet I s OOP and old! Not as old as I am, just perhaps around 50...

I have one in a "Beginners Needlework Volume 1. by Leisure Arts. It is small and simple but a old fashioned milk tin can with "milk" on it. If stitched over 2 threads it,of course, would be larger. It is about 2-3" tall by maybe an 1" wide on 14 count aida
