Default xst baby present

I am making my Friend`s first GD , a letter sampler with xst letters
[ Of Course Hebrew] + tiny appliqued things that go with each letter ,
I was very happy to see i can now buy colored Aida here. Bought RED
Aida and am now threading lines to mark the places ,,
Hebrew has 22 regular letters + 5 End Letters ,,
Thus decided to arrange them in 6 rows , 3 of 5 letters and 3 of 4
letters , this will give me more visual space for the figures and
forms that are to `represent` the letters as well ,,
Thus i am first embroidering the letters and than will add the aplique
,,
I will add numbers as well , the one thing i haven`t decided is if i
should add in between lines ???
will have to see how it works out ,,,

I'd love to see a picture of your sample, either unfinished or
completed.

I'm curious, what do you mean by 'add in between lines'?

Sounds nice - are you wondering about just putting in some border stitch or
decorative thing between the alphabet lines? That might be nice. Let us
know when we can see a pic of the finished project!

I have met their families , you haven`t , THEY ARE BOYS ,,
You don`t them ,
mirjam


They are not 'boys' - they are soldiers, fighting machines. Don't try
to make them sound like innocent little children.

I have finnished most my appliqued pictures for the letters and am
now embroidering all kinds of forms , to `show` the numbers ,,, I must
say it was a joy to embroider it, and working on red Aida was a great
idea,

mirjam
