Lovely Letters: 9 Cross-Stitch Alphabets & Monograms

2015 | Sport & Leisure

Personalization or monogramming has been around for thousands of years. It appears on currency, insignias, and clothing, and it's been used on embroideries for centuries. From linens to clothing and baby items to household goods, adding one's initial or initials to an item imparts a unique classic style. Add a single letter for personalization or a traditional three-letter monogram to items like hand towels, photo albums or pillows. The alphabets are divided into three categories: Clean & Classic, Elegant & Exquisite and Fun & Funky. Each category features three alphabets with letters that can be easily combined to create names or words. The colors can be altered and the fabrics changed to create projects that are functional, beautiful and one of a kind. The alphabets here range from simple, clean lines to fanciful letters made of flowers. There are classic bordered letters and whimsical letters made with bright colors. The finishing on every project is simple, with easy-to-follow instructions which are addressed step by step in the 'Finishing' chapter. Your creations will be treasured for years to come.

We hope you enjoy the designs and unique finishing ideas in this book and will decorate your stitching with Lovely Letters.
