Kansas City Star A Schoolroom Alphabet: Cross Stitch Projects Based on an Antique ABC Handkerchief

Enter the world of the one-room school to discover 12 delightful needlework lessons, all inspired by an antique alphabet handkerchief once owned by Eunice Bacon. The mother and daughter-in-law team of Vickie LoPiccolo Jennett and Maegan Jennett captured the handkerchief's charm in projects that are both decorative and functional. The handkerchief's central image can be traced to the early 19th century. A large alphabet sampler is accompanied by projects that decorate tote bags and backpacks, cover your e-reader and carry your tools.
