Stitch Alphabets & Numbers: 120 Contemporary Designs for Cross Stitch and Needlepoint Paperback – Illustrated, 27 June 2014

Nice selection, and nicely done.

My first letter done, I will be gifting these birthdays and for Christmas!

The designs are to big....not suitable to write anything.

I'd like to begin by agreeing with some other reviewers' criticisms of this book: firstly, there are only 3 alphabet collections (each including only letters, "&", and a matching border) plus 3 number collections (each include 0-9 and a matching design for what appears to be the hyphen symbol; "-"). The back of the book implied to me that there would be 6 different designs for the letters that also included numbers. Secondly, the number and letter themes do not match, so if using this for a project that includes both, you would need to choose separate pattern schemes for the letters and the numbers.That being said, I am still very pleased with this book and it is rightly priced. The fonts really are beautiful and show examples for further customization by the author. The patterns are very easy to read and follow, which also allows for even further color and pattern customization of your choosing without much difficulty for all fonts. There are also pages showing completed projects using the characters in the book for various designs, as well as some helpful instruction in the front of the book for completion of projects. I cannot wait to try some of these patterns out as soon as this review is finished, I definitely got what I wanted out of this one!

Really like this book of charts. Use lettering a lot and this will be a favourite
