Are you looking for a handmade backstitch look? What are you wanting design wise?

Yes - I just love the designs that Caroline uses - her book 'Childhood Treasurers' is full of them. The designs on her hand made range really appeal. Have looked at the ones on OPW, but they are not quite what I am looking for.

Philippa, are you just wanting a font like that? Or outlined designs, like Redwork?

Thank you for your interest - am just looking for the handmade backstitch look (redwork I suppose); am not too worried about the font.

In the Skeldale Yahoo group there is a font called Tiny Writing that might work. It's more of a cursive script though.

If you click on the 'handmade by Caroline Zoob' tab it showcases quite a few of her hand embroidered designs - it is this sort of design I am after!

Go to These two places and see what you can find. Martha Pullen especially. She is a specialist in this type of work.

I think that Terre gave you the sites I would have. You might also try Zundt Designs.

Hi Phillipa,

I don't know if there is anything on this site you might fancy, but have a look anyway.

Love and blessings Chris
