LakeHouse Alphabet Fabric

Can you make some words, Joan? What size are the letters? It might be difficult with only one of each letter, but you might be able to manage it with both lower and upper case? If so, perhaps you could make it up as a little piece of verse, like an old embroidery sampler (using fabric for the usually other embroidered parts?). Just the first thought that came into my mind. Something else useful might occur! . In message , joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska writes

so how big are the letters?

do you have a link so we can see the fabric? Are they the ones on this page (about half way down)?

I figure that a 4" finished square is about the largest you can get for each letter. Yes, that's the fabric. There are several of each letter in the lower case. In any one length, you get 3 small a's, 1 b, 1 c, 2 d's, 4 e's, etc. In the upper case, you get one of each, plus a & and a !. So I could make a banner that said Joan's Sewing Room, for example. It's intriguing material.

For her other lines, there have been accompanying patterns that made great use of the rather 'unique' fabrics. I'm hoping for something like.

Background for applique or stencils? (I stenciled some gold roses on a round robin project, worked well.) Or overdye it. Or dye some silk gauze and overlay, perhaps with some random holes torn away, embellished with beads... Roberta in D

Have you seen the word puzzles where letters are set out in a grid that covers a large area amd you circle rowx and columns that spell out words? Why not make one for sewing/quilting related things as a wall hanging?

Or - how fiddly do you want to go? I made a set of old fashioned alphabet building blocks for a new baby from fabric and blocks of sponge rubber some years ago. It was a fun hand project and the baby loved the blocks.

Or piece monogram blocks for gifts - coasters, pockets, book makrs, small gift bags for Xmas.

sorry for the typos - extreme lack of sleep lol

I have some old fabric that has alphabet letters, but each letter is in it's own pretty little "block." About 4" square when cut out. I've used them over the years for: surprise center of a block on a pillow, in cornerstones, and in a couple of quilt labels.
