Title: Charted monograms for needlepoint and cross-stitch
Description: The monogram is an attractive and popular way of personalizing your wardrobe or household linens, tablecloths, napkins, sheets, pillowcases, towels, handkerchiefs, blouses, shirts, dresses, sweaters, jackets and other items.
This collection contains 550 unusual and striking monograms taken from a rare Vietnamese album printed at the turn of the century. All the monograms that can be composed with pairs of letters are here. The book also includes a number of crowns plus several large and small alphabets with numerals, both Roman and Arabic. All are charted for ready use in different forms of needlework - needlepoint, latch-hooking, counted cross-stitch, crochet or kitting.
The informative introduction tells you how to enlarge or reduce the monograms, and gives simple directions on how to do them in your favorite form of needlework.
