slow beginnings

 the first row has begun - the list i made is alphabetical by first name, so i have chosen to stitch a few at a time from different letters... it gets tedious stitching the same letter over and over so i like to mix them

on reflection i might unpick what i have done and sort them by family name so that i can keep families together .....?

i am stitching from the reverse so that the letters look like code from the front, like the samples i stitched earlier - white on white is hard to see on photos!
