andFrom Godey's Lady's Book and Peterson's Magazine.
The Victorian woman put initials on nearly every piece of linen and clothing she owned - everything from handkerchiefs and blouses to tableclothes, napkins and towles. The modern needleworker may not be quite so avid about initialling everything, but initials and monograms are still attractive and popular ways of decorating common items.
This book brings you a large selection of alphabets, initials and monograms, each available in a variety of letter forms from script, floral, geometric, Old English, block or ornamental. Although eminently useable for embroidery, there are also a number of alphabets for crochet and needlepoint.
