Had a bit of a "Mid-Web Crisis" and needed to take a break. But there is Twitter, right? I probably should publicize that... Hey Trish, no, I no longer put out a newsletter.

I do have both books. La Bible alphabets are all charted for cross stitch, with the exception of 10 small alphabets in back stitch, and there are a few very small lower-case script fonts. By small, under six stitches high. It certainly has enough alphabets to keep anyone busy, and if I had to choose between the two, I'd choose that one. Although there is something about the layout of Repertoire that I like better, and flipping through the books, it's hard to find any duplication. Hope this helps :) Mary Hi Jane.

I'm looking for a script font to write a poem in for a sampler I have just completed but cross stitch letters themselves (however small) would be too big and bulky for the design. I also wondered if you had 'Répertoire des alphabets : Plus de 5 500 minuscules, majuscules et chiffres mariés à broder au point de croix. And if so out of the two books which you think is the best. I hope you don't mind me emailing you to ask about these books, only you are the only person I have been able to find who speaks English who may be able to answer my questions. Many thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Very best wishes. Jane. Hi,

I remember reading a children's version of this story when I was little. It was fascinating - Edmond Dantes breaking out of prison and his complicated revenge plot to get back at the guy who put him there ... The Three Musketeers, Kidnapped, Les Miserables, and A Tale of Two Cities are all similar stories that are equally wonderful! Hi, these are great.

I have used amazon.fr once before while I was in France for 2 months and it is very simple and straight forward. My grandmother was very into cross stitching and i have been doing a bit of research on it myself. we have many pieces at home they she has made over the years and given them to us however i rarely use them because i am afraid of damaging them.
