This is a genuine goldmine for stitchers: letters and motifs in all shapes, sizes, and styles that can be adapted to any piece. Until a few generations ago, French women spent winters monogramming or marking their household linens. Today’s stitchers can do the same or apply these alphabets, flowers, and borders in creative ways to other projects. Véronique Maillard merges her needlework expertise with her passion for searching for vintage handstitched items and rare needlework manuals in attics, archives, brocantes, and antique shops. She is the author of several historical needlework books in her native France. She lives in Paris.
