The personalized nameplates for hanging in a child's room can also be stitched on a sweatshirt or pillow top. Finally, a collection of small motifs are a perfect way to pick and choose designs for quickerprojects like cards and gift bags. All 27 designs and four alphabet charts are presented in clear black & white charts and basic cross stitch instructions are included.
