Colourful Serif Backstitch Alphabet Cross Stitch Pattern

A bright backstitch cross stitch alphabet with colourful serif accents. Upper and lower case letters in cheerful tones that add personality to any project without shouting. Small enough to tuck into a sampler heading, gift label, or quote piece, and clear enough to read easily.

The accent colour blocks at the serifs and joints are stitched as small blocks of cross stitch, but the letterforms themselves are all backstitch. Suitable for any skill level, including absolute beginners.
