Alphabet

Need a quick gift. With this fancy antique alphabet you’ll have a gift in no time. You could use them for embroidery or other crafting. Just print, trace and decorate a hand towel, tote, T-shirt or any number of items to give as gifts.

Young embroiderers used the alphabets to practice their stitches and went on to use them to create samplers, quilts and other household items.

This is the A and the rest of the alphabet is just as pretty.  I believe this page was pulled from one of my Peterson’s Ladies Magazines. It’s certainly over 100 years old.

I’ve cleaned up the page, but haven’t gone over the outline of the letters so there may be some gaps here and there that you’ll have to fill in when you trace them.
