I did not really care for the alphabet that came in the chart for my monogram. The letters are too small to be in proportion for the opening in the wreath and they are on a hard slant which I think looks awkward. Karen Kubla, the designer of Rosewood Manor, encourages stitchers at every turn to be creative and make the design how you like. So I have no qualms about using a different M. I have this wonderful book of alphabets where I found a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4279-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4279-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4279-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/img_4279-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What is so great about this book is the alphabets are organized in size order so you flip to the section where the letters are all, say, 26 crosses (or points-its a French book) tall and there they are! You pick one from that section to meet your requirement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So today I will do the &#8220;M&#8221; and start in on this big leafy scroll-y thing. I really like this last motif and I believe it uses ALL the colors. It will be fun to stitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn Quakers&#8230;what can I say? It has become a completely engrossing stitch as I near the finish.
