Cross Stitch Calligraphy

I love this book -- I've had it for many years and have used it on numerous occasions. This book blends my love of calligraphy and cross-stitch perfectly.It begins with an interesting history of lettering, then goes on to the wonderful beginnings of samplers, with photos and some great sayings that were stitched in earlier times. There's an informative chapter on how to design your own lay-outs for those of us who like to personalize our work. I believe there are just under 40 different types of lettering - something for everyone. There are even a few fun patterns included. Great book!!!

An excellent guide book for all cross stitchers.

An excellent guide book for all cross stichers needing monograms or calligraphy in samplers etc. Well written with extensive diagrams and helpful information. A good book to keep on your shelf for reference
