Handmade Store: LinenandThread

I have sewn for a long time but only now have found the time to dedicate a little more time to it!

I love initials, letters and have done ever since I discovered a Medieval manuscript in a Glasgow museum. I have also had a life long passion for French monogrammed linen, in fact a life long passion for textiles in general.

It wasn't too long ago that nearly every item in the household was monogrammed: linen, towels, tablecloths etc etc. I think it is a wonderful way to personalise things and is very attractive too.

When I started to look for kits in the market place to enable me to start monogramming my own linen, there wasn't one to be seen. Therefore, I decided to take the bull by the horns and start to design my own. I have done this for a long time, giving the final results to friends and family whenever there was a 'big birthday' or a wedding. Funnily enough, people always seemed pleased to receive such a gift so they must look OK!

I therefore provide cross stitch kits to enable you to monogram your own linen or create a beautiful initial to frame for a special friend or event.
