BTW, ignore the handwritten notes....they aren't accurate.
Dumb question? You won't learn to embroider or you don't want to? There are some absolutely fantastic counted cross stitch letters out in the world. You can control teh size by the thread count or by slightly altering what you can find. Much more elaborate than what most of us can applique?
