Needlepoint Letters & Numbers by Carol Cheney Rome & Donna Reidy Orr

All stitchers who do needlepoint at some time or another use letters or numbers in their work - whether to sign or date a work or to create a whole design in words. This practical, useful reference book takes the guesswork out of stitching letters and numbers in needlepoint by providing easy-to-follow diagrams for complete alphabets and numbers suitable for every style of project. The decorative alphabets and number sets have been adapted for needlepoint from both ancient and modern sources, including Hebrew and Greek, Gothic and Old Western, Early American and Victorian, even Roman Numerals, Morse Code and International Signal Flags, providing a ready reference whenever a needlepoint project calls for lettering, be it a simple initial or monogram, or more complicated projects with family crests or mottos.
