Let's talk ABC's...
See the embroidery below? I've had it in my favorites for a while now...
{ ABCs by A Lovely World }
and of course, this...
{ Daisychain ABCs from Posie Gets Cozy }
and this awesome fabric...
{ Williamsburg Sampler by the workroom }
... which inspires a desire to cross-stitch, though I've never tried it. Also, I happened to see the most beautifully embroidered alphabet sampler in person last week ~ it was so fine I could have died, it was breathtaking. But the truth is my embroidery skills just aren't what they ought to be, so I decided to do what I can ~ an applique alphabet.
And now, after a flurry of cutting (sometimes with an exacto knife) into my flowery stash, ironing (racing out as fast as I could to get a new iron when my own conked out halfway thru), top-stitching and hand-stitching... my new favorite alphabet is hanging on the wall in the kids' room...
It is a little thing. About 10" x 12" ~ I love it so.
And now I know my abc's. xo amy
