Circus Alphabet Embroidery Pattern

Posted on August 12, 2011August 2, 2015 by Martha

These transfers have been cut and are missing both the envelope and the instructions, so I don’t know the date or the publisher.

Although I think the alphabet designs are very cute, I was disappointed because I expected each character’s name to begin with its accompanying letter, and in most cases they don’t — or if they do, I can’t figure it out (except for the horse and the snake and maybe the parrot, although it looks more like a toucan to me).  I don’t know how these letters were supposed to be stitched, but I think they would look pretty cute done in redwork.

    That is unusual not to illustrate with something that begins with the letter! Cute set, though! Thanks for sharing!

    I especially love the strong man (X & Y) with the heart tattoo. I think that it would be fun to stitch the images inside the letters in bright colours and then use a bright red to outline all of the letters.

    Martha – this is PRECIOUS. Thanks for sharing. I think this is going to be a project I can carry in my purse and sink my needle and floss into when I’m in waiting mode! Thank you!
