Cross-Stitcher's Big Book of Alphabets and Borders

I cross stich for my sanity just about every night. I've been looking for a book with various alphabet choices. Needless to say my search ended when I found this gently used book. I can't believe the condition it was in and it was only $5.89. If you're looking for one yourself, definitely buy this one, you won't be sorry. This site is my go-to when looking for any particular book.

The book is full of possible crafts for me. A great book! Gail

I have this in hardback plus dust jacket in perfect condition and despite what it is worth I could not bring myself to part with it. It has beautiful alphabets and borders for every occasion and is laid out in sections for various life events such a birth marriage etc.The charts are large and easy to use with wonderful ideas of how to display your stitching to the best effect. Truly a book to drool over with an american slant.

Although this book is at present out of print a friend managed to pick it up in England having borrowed mine. This truly is a superb cross-stitch resource. The alphabets are divided into various sections such as floral,antique,elegant,baby,kids etc. As with all The Better and Homes And Gardens imprint this is downright lavish in its use of colour and the size of charts. The alphabets are shown finished in myriad ways. It is all here, boxes, cushions, throws, towel borders, afgans and of course alphabet samplers. It is yet another book to make me wish to live and stitch for a thousand years. If I could only ever take one cross-stitch book to a desert island this with be a real contender.

This book has some beautiful alphabet charts and great ideas for using them. I use it as a reference when adapting poems into cross-stitch. Please tell Better Homes and Gardens to bring this book BACK to printing.
