Schedule Reminder: The Studio and online shop are closed from Dec 3 through December 18, and I have limited access to email. If you email and don’t hear back from me, that’s why. Please leave all non-urgent communications until after December 18th. Thanks! Blog posts will continue through Christmas as planned, though, and there are a few other scheduled posts for you, too!
With Christmas on the horizon – not even 10 days away! – this particular A-Z dive in the archives seemed kind of appropriate to me.
Did you know that there are many monogram alphabets available on Needle ‘n Thread? I have a Thing about Monograms. I love embroidering them. I think it’s because they are, by their nature, singular and usually somewhat small.
The funniest thing about my penchant for monograms, though, is that I have very few (if any!) monogrammed items, myself. I don’t monogram for me. But I often monogram gifts for other people.
But back to today’s little resurrected bit from the archives. J… is for Joy.
Once upon a time, I started to concoct a monogram alphabet that I have called Holly & Joy. I’ve not finished the whole alphabet, but it’s on my List. (You know that list? Don’t you have one, too?)
In the meantime, though, I did finish three letters to spell out the word Joy, and I adorned them with some borders and such.
You can find this much of Holly & Joy available here, along with the downloadable PDFs that feature different arrangements of the word and the border design.
I hope you enJOY it!
