Bright idea
Part of the beauty of this alphabet is its
versatility – stitch initials for Christmas table
place settings or to personalise cards. Make
it into a wintry homespun sampler or write a
name for the top of a Christmas stocking.
“Even if backstitch isn't usually your thing,
I think you'll be converted with this project!
The results are so delicate and pretty, you'll
soon see the beauty in this versatile stitch.”
