How many ways do I love this book
6 Feb 2000
Although this book is at present out of print a friend managed to pick it up in England having borrowed mine. This truly is a superb cross-stitch resource. The alphabets are divided into various sections such as floral,antique,elegant,baby,kids etc. As with all The Better and Homes And Gardens imprint this is downright lavish in its use of colour and the size of charts. The alphabets are shown finished in myriad ways. It is all here, boxes, cushions, throws, towel borders, afgans and of course alphabet samplers. It is yet another book to make me wish to live and stitch for a thousand years. If I could only ever take one cross-stitch book to a desert island this with be a real contender.

It's All In There

This definitely is a BIG book of Alphabets and Borders and it also has the quality of BH&G behind it. Published in 1994, You name it, it's in there. Not all motifs are illustrated and photographed. Many are. Just not all. But the charting, in black and white, will get you through. These pieces must have been used at some time because each letter grouping and often the letters themselves come with a specific color codeing. There is everything from a perfume bottle alphabet to a lovely chemise with floral border and elegant lettering. Children's themes(for all ages,) are included. There are pictures of specific pieces using the different motifs periodically. Things are organized by theme in the Table of Contents. There is a brief introduction to the designers which is unusual and nice to know. No matter what your taste, this is something I think you'll be glad to have. Some of the alphabets are large, some small, all interesting, particularly for those working pieces with someone specific in mind or wanting a monogram in an unusual lettering for a pillow, sampler, linens or article of cothing. All ages and styles of writing are included. Did you ever know BH&G to leave something out? Didn't think so.
