All I have worked on this month, and not very often as is seen by the pathetic progress I have made.
I have been trying to find a backstitch alphabet that will work with the design to personalise it for them. I'm finding it quite tricky though as it only wants to be 4 stitches high and I don't want anything too fancy or too plain. Let me know if you have any ideas?

On the way back into the house after archery today, I noticed how many flowers were already out in the garden. We have daffodils showing a bit of colour too but not enough to make it worth a photo.
Can you see the little bee on this next one?

What a lovely sampler. As for an alphabet, try this free alphabet pattern from Victorian Sampler: http://www.victoriasampler.com/Free_Patterns/BX_Alphabet.aspx.
Hope this helps -

Such a pretty sampler. JBW Designs also have an alphabet that might suit - http://www.jbwdesigns.com/alphabets.php
Lovely stitching! And I can't believe you have spring bulb flowers blooming there already! Our temps were below zero last night ... but that's just fine by me : )
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. I use my Brenda Keyes book for alphabets, either that or chart myself on graph paper.
It is a lovely sampler.
I love stitching alphabets and do have a few books containing different styles. The sampler is looking great.
Such a pretty design and awesome stitching Sharon. Your flowers are very pretty.

Wish I knew a perfect alphabet to recommend for you but I don't.

Love the sampler. Sorry I can't help with the alphabet. Love the first sight of flowers!!
A great piece you are stitching on for the GG SAL. I can't believe the flowers that are already out at your place. It must be wonderful to see them first thing when leaving the house.
Fabulous stitching. I love the flower photos they bring back fond memories of my time in the UK.

YOur stitching looks wonderful!! Sorry, I'm not use with alphabet but it really looks superb as it is :) Spring is in the air in your part of the world!! Here it's grey, cold & raining :(
Lovely sampler and your garden is in front of ours. I suppose it's because we're so high. Still, spring is around the corner. I hope
Your stitchery is lovely and thank you for the pics of spring flowers. We just had another snow storm! It'll be a while before any flowers will be poking their noses out around here.
Beautiful stitching. Still only snowdrops here. :(
Archery? I always wanted to try! Beautiful stitching and lovely pics. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful stitching. I do love that Sampler. Your flower pics are also beautiful.
