This monogram style is English, dating from about 1900. There is a very delicate vine and leaf pattern in the background, composed of thin satin stitches and bean stitches, along with two-color satin stitch flowers. The letters are a serif block style, done in satin stitch fill with a thin outline detail. The overall motif creates a square. The letters can be used alone if you wish by skipping past the background. This is a five color design, but it looks equally special sewn in all one color.

Although the original calls for a single color, we have digitized this as two colors for those who might prefer the style without the small floral detail - not quite a fleur-de-lis - just skip over color one.
