Liz Teams with Jim Williams and the Gardner's Alphabet is Reborn

Back in 1982 Jim Williams published a series of floral alphabet letters in Needlepoint News magazine. Liz Morrow helped with the charting for the magazine at that time and always loved these, so she was thrilled when Mr. Williams gave her permission to chart each letter with its flowers and republish the designs.

Each letter is sold separately as a PDF file via Liz's website.
