Well, thanks to some tech problems yesterday, I wasn't able to post this week's free cross stitch project. It's here now, though--and I promise you, it was worth the wait!

This week we present "Fairies A-Z" from Cross Stitch Fairies. This project includes a complete set of patterns for every letter in the alphabet with a delightful fairy worked into the design. Letters can be worked individually for card inserts and box lids, or combined for monograms with a fantasy touch or full cross stitch name plates.

Each letter measures 3-3/4" x 3-1/2" (9.6cm x 8.4cm) finished, requiring a piece of 14-count Aida or 20-count linen measuring at least 8" x 7" (20cm x 18cm) per letter. Examples and suggestions for creative uses for these designs, individually or together, accompany
