Monograms for Hand Embroidery Index
I'm using this page to create an index for monogram patterns used for hand embroidery. As I clean up some old monogram patterns I have, I'll post them and add them to this index. I'll include a picture of one letter, so you can see what the monogram style looks like, and then links to the individual patterns for the monograms. I hope you find these patterns useful and inspiring for your needlework endeavors!
For each letter of each alphabet, there will be a post with a full sized pattern on it. I'll also include tips on how it might be hand embroidered. The individual letters are links to each full-sized monogram.

Keep an eye out for future updates to the alphabet and additions of new alphabets.
Please note that all images here, to the best of my knowledge, are out of copyright. They come from old publications of magazines or needlework flyers that I'm trying to collect, most from the early 1900's. If you wish to link to these on your own website, please feel free to do so. If you wish to add the images to your own website, I ask that you please note Needle 'n Thread as the source, with a link. Thanks!
I'm always happy to hear about sources for these old publications, so if you know of any sources or have any that you are interested in selling, please contact me.

Mary, the Swappons blog has a bunch of these embroidery booklets. Most seem to be charts for cross stitch but I don't think I've been through all of them yet. http://swappons.oldiblog.com/?page=articles&rub=47847&nba=1 Click each booklet to see the contents.
You can also find some on another French blog: les Passe-Temps de flo. This link is for all the posts with the booklets. http://passe-tempsdeflo.over-blog.com/categorie-996455.html
Handmade Adelaide has some of the cross stitch charts too. http://www.handmade-adelaide-baby.com/free-cross-stitch-patterns.html and http://www.handmade-adelaide-baby.com/baby-cross-stitch-patterns.html
Oh I can't wait for your Celtic Knot in E. Then I'll have all the letters I need to make a little book for my daughter. Her name is Emma. :) Lovely work!
I posted the "E" for you today, Jennifer!! Good luck with your project!

Hi Mary
I can't get into the Sajou website for love or money.
Any ideas?
Hi, Marika -
I need to remove that link. Actually, the site is no longer there. I'm not certain why, but I fear it has just lapsed away!
Thanks for reminding me to remove the link!
MC
