Stitchers everywhere will love the 50 themed alphabets both large and small contained in this book. Each one is skilfully designed and shown with an exciting finishing idea. Beautifully detailed alphabets for special occasions like weddings and Christmas are interspersed with quick-to-stitch alphabets where letters can be made up into last-minute birthday cards and small gifts.

There are beautifully crafted Art Nouveau, Celtic or Art Deco style letters.. Easy-to-follow instructions make it effortless to personalize a huge range of exciting projects, including adding initials to a towel, handkerchief and shoe bag; decorating a key ring, gift bag and trinket box; and mounting letters inside a mirror, coaster; even a fridge magnet.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Exactly as it claims,
By Remy "Miacomet Remy" (the Bay State, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cross Stitch Alphabets (Hardcover)
There are no dups in this incredible volume and lots of alphabets and pictures for boys and girls for either sweaters, shirts or those little holiday cards. In fact I liked the book so much that I transferred one set of the alphabet into a needlepoint rug, all 26 letters, slowly to be sure, and then took other designs of letters for pillows and such for my son's room for him to learn his alphabet.
I really loved this book and will probably use more of these alphabets to jot notes or one day emblazen my own initials on my bag in the corner. This book is worthwhile and gives your money worth of 50 themed colorful and well designed alphabets.

This review is from: Cross Stitch Alphabets (Hardcover)
I just received this in the mail and can't wait to start stitching! The alphabets are so varied, including nursery rhymes, florals, nautical, native american and on and on, they are not just limited to childish themes like so many books have. I was blown away with the variety! The patterns are all full-color (who likes those little black-and-white patterns anyway?) and very large and easy to read. This book would be a fabulous addition to any stitcher's library!
