Hello April! This month I am taking part in the A-Z Challenge. After much deliberation I have decided to do a Disney themed cross-stitch sampler, so this post we begin with the A-Z Challenge: Disney Alphabet A!
You can read more about the April A-Z challenge on the website here: a-to-zchallenge.com.
I really like this challenge as it gets me visiting other blogs, and making new blogger friends, as well as giving me a challenge of daily posting!
My A-Z Challenge
I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for the challenge this year; I’ve taken part before; on past blogs, and always really enjoyed it. It is a LOT of work, though I am (a little) ahead; so thought I’d share my cross-stitch Disney alphabet sampler, as I go.
Each letter will be hand cross-stitched to about 1.5ins; give or take. Though inspired by Disney, I have designed the letters myself; based on characters from the films. Simply rough sketching the idea in a notebook; (so don’t be surprised if this ends up a little messy!)
I didn’t have rules as such, though I have tried not to use a film more than once through the sampler, and of course some letters offered far more limited choices!
And so what will follow every day through April, is a short post sharing each letter! And some facts about the films represented too as a bonus!
A-Z Challenge: Disney Alphabet A
I began with Alice, my craft room has a lot of Alice in Wonderland going on, and while it isn’t my favourite Disney movie, it is one of my favourite books! Alice in Wonderland is Disney Animated Classic #13; it was released in July 1951!
Which character would you choose for A?
Next Letter B
Regular content will be paused; for the challenge this month. However; I will be posting on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in the meantime!
A great choice for A and a lovely sampler. I am afraid I have no talent for such things, from cross-stitch to knitting, I suck 😂. My sister is the one in the family who loves to craft. As for what character I would choose … hmmm … I think I might have gone classic with Aurora. Best wishes for the AtoZ.

Thank you so much!!
I think I would’ve gone for Aurora if I wasn’t such a big fan of Alice…
Oooh that’s really pretty!
Thank you so much!!
I agree that I love the book more than the Disney version of Alice. Sweet little cross-stitch!

Thank you!
Alice in Wonderland is a beautiful story, I probably read it every year haha!
Lovely cross-stitch Disney alphabet sampler, cute A!
A = Art Déco
Thank you!
I just hope I can keep up!! 😀
Great Challenge. Looks great. Personally, for an A Character, I would go for Ariel.
Thank you!
Ariel would’ve been fun too!
There are a LOT of A characters I discovered when I was planning 😀
Alice is perfect for A. Cute sampler and a cute theme.
Have a great A-Z
Thank you so much 😊
What a clever idea for the challenge. I have always loved embroidery but have never stuck with it, but this is beautiful. I love Alice in Wonderland. So clever and creative. I also love vintage tea cups and have had a few madhattter’s tea parties over the years and last year, my daughter was in the musical at school. She played the cheshire cat.
Best wishes,
Rowena
That’s awesome!! And the Cheshire Cat is one of my favourites 😁
Such a cute idea! I can’t wait to see when it’s complete.
Thank you!
I’m over half way now, but still not done haha!
