Texture & Pattern: 1 of 7, Sampler Alphabet 1782

It gave me great pleasure to stitch this...and the kit also included the diagrams for the letters J and U, which were not part of the alphabet in 1782.

IMHO, views well on black.

Great photo of your intricate hand-stitching :)

Lovely

Gosh this looks lovely - would love to see it in colour though! I never knew before that the letters J and U didn't exist a couple of centuries ago

Oh Margo this is so beautiful.

A lot of hand work went into this. I can see the smooth threads on the counted cross stitch fabric.

I can't imagine the work that must go into this - just beautiful :)

[Denise Wood]

Wonderful :)

This is one of my favourites so good to see it here.

That must have taken a lot of time and effort but it's obviously very pleasing when you've finished something like that. Interesting history on the alphabet too. Nice addition to our flash of red February!

Lovely work.

i had a similar kit done for a friend's nursery in 1994. i should go and visit them, as the girl would be about 25 by now, and see if i can take a photo. it's a beautiful project and they're a joy to see when finished.
