Charted designs consist of 20 alphabets, 7 sets of number and 20 borders or motifs, including several crowns. The borders in particular, have a distinctly \"lacy\" appearance. An interesting feature is that many letters and motifs can be worked in a single color \"silhouette\" style, or two colors to create a dimensional shaded effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs is typical of many 19th century alphabets, the letters \"I\" and \"J\" are considered interchangeable and only one is included. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo specific projects are included, although many of the pattern plates would make charming samplers on their own. Antique needlework patterns assume the stitcher already possesses a high level of skill and typically do not include instructions, color or thread suggestions or stitch counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 867734733X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798677347337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Susan Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126964744447,"sku":"9798677347337","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6199c474-c2f4-4f3c-84c5-a80772c3ba47.jpg?v=1687451124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ouverages-de-dames-susan-johnson-9798677347337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
