This timelessly elegant alphabet sampler takes you on a journey to the heart of the alphabet, where rows of darning stitches mingle with traditional motifs.

Zephyr was considered the god of the gentle, spring wind, bringing mild weather and flowers. The name Zephyr therefore evokes connotations of gentleness, lightness, and renewal, linked to spring. It is a rare and poetic name, often associated with a certain delicacy and artistic sensitivity.
Pattern is stitched on 16 ct fabric using Soie d'Alger threads with DMC threads. Stitch count is 315 x 301. Finished size is 19.69" X 15.05".
