Merry C

Merry C is a capital letter C in an elegant italic serif style. The letter is filled with textured green stitching and scattered with white snowflakes of different sizes, with a fine white outline around the edge. It is shown in green and white as a suggestion only. Any shades of the same family work well, so pick the greens and the snowflake colour that suit your project.

This letter makes a pretty winter monogram. Try it on Christmas tea towels, tote bags, cushion covers, stockings, gift bags or baby clothes. It also works well as a quilt block or as the first letter of a name on a seasonal wall hanging. It sits nicely on cotton, linen, canvas and fleece, where the filled stitching stands out clearly.

The design measures 52 mm wide by 74 mm high (2.0 x 2.9 inches), so it fits easily in a small hoop. It has 4,502 stitches and only 1 colour change, so it stitches up quickly. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable woven fabrics and cutaway stabiliser on knits.
