This is a recreation of a cross-stitch pattern from the French series of embroidery books "Maison Sajou". It dates to around the turn of the 20th century. Each letter features a three-pronged leaf and curly serifs. The 'I' and 'W' were not present in the original design so I modified them based on 'J' and 'M'. The pattern was found on http://patternmakercharts.blogspot.com/2010/05/sajou-no-656.html

A gorgeous embroidery design very imressively recreated. I know that these were used to initial linen etc --- but would you manage to add numerals to it? I can see this being used for embroidered baby, wedding and anniversary gifts for example.
