Looking for free alphabet

[agi]

My computer has broken down. Luckily, the content of my hard drive will be restored, but it will take some time till I get it back. So I don't have access of my saved freebies.
I would need a free alphabet, old fashioned, intricate, suitable for a monogram, at least 20 stitches high, or even bigger. Do you know any?
Thanks.

I have some that I copied from a library book, am I allowed to share them?

[agi]

No, please, don't. I am not sure you were even right to copy them. We really try to keep our forum free from any copyright infringement.

I copied them because I wont be able to keep the book and I have a project idea in mind that'll take longer than 3 weeks (the loan length), I wasn't really going to pass them on

I have some that I made myself back in like 2001, but they're only like 6 squares high. That too small?

(Edited to add: I really was kidding about passing them on! I don't want the forum thinking I'm going to be a problem

I also looked up information that I received from university about photocopying books in the library, and we were told that copying for our own personal use is allowed if it is less than 10% of the book and we only used it for whatever we needed it for, nothing more. I will check with the public library to see what their policy is, as it might be different from the university's policy.)

Wow, thank you, Wendy, what a lovely site. I don't think I have seen it before.

ChicagoMay, it's OK, no harm done We just like to have our beloved forum up and running.

It's one I've used before but not sure if the letters are big enough for you.

Don't you just LOVE those chickens!!!

Oh, I new they are out there somewhere. I found the site again. I am not sure if it was posted here or not. This blog offers hundreds of free patterns, all from old, in-the-public-domain books. They are great! I love that I can save them in PCStitch format and change them later if I want. There are other formats, too.

I get that! I have been a part of forums and websites for other things before that were lenient with these things, I didn't stick around for long

Thank you for sharing this site! There are some beautiful things on here. I am loving finding all kinds of free sites. It is opening up my imagination to different creative possibilities. Any other cool sites you have up your sleeve, so to speak?

[agi]

Have you looked at the Internet sites thread? We usually post new findings there - unless we forget, of course
