Description:

List in the comments a minimum of 3 bookmark themes you'd like to cross-stitch or prick-n-stitch or embroider, or hardanger, etc. Anything HANDSEWN. (You don't have to state which type of hand sewing you are choosing, that can be a surprise).When partners are assigned (if I'm late PM me!!) PM your partner that is sending to you and choose one of the bookmark themes they have listed here.

Bookmark needs to be hand sewn of some kind, but can be finished with the fabric you stitch on, felt, paper, fabric etc. I will find some tutorials to post here. If you are a very neat stitcher you may not need to finish the back. We have several of you in the group and I'm jealous! I'm a bit of a messy stitcher behind the scenes so I cover the back of mine with sticky felt.

I am not going to put a min/mx size - it is a bookmark, make it bookmark-y! Up to stitcher if it includes a tassel or whatever - it can but doesn't have to.

Please do nice work and send on time. Communicate with your partner if needed. I will angel if needed.

Finishing Bookmarks Geeky Goblin, window bookmark idea by Funk and Weber, Unique NZ Designs, and of course, ideas on pinterest

I will choose a picture soon!
