Cross Stitch
Bookmarks are still among my favorite projects to stitch, even though I do most of my reading on my Kindle these days. Here’s a little freebie I made for you, 30 x 100 stitches in size, Once upon a time… a blackwork bookmark.
You can download this pattern directly [here] or you can hop over to Craftsy and add it to your pattern library there if you prefer to save that way.
I’ve been working on this chevron design off and on, it’s part of a series of monogram patterns that I’m working on charting to be released this year (there are bookmarks, ornaments, and in-the-hoop designs) This one is almost ready and I really like how the chevrons come out doing one X at a time using a hand dyed thread (The thread I’m using here is Sharrin’s Peach from Ship’s Manor)

Size of individual bookmarks is 2-1/2 inches x 8 inches
Design Size: Set of 12 bookmarks
Everything you will need is included in the kit.
I get asked for great finishing tutorials all the time, so when I find one I like to share it here with you. This one is for finishing a fringed bookmark and was put together by Camp Cross Stitch using their I <3 2 Camp pattern…

I really love the colors she used when she stitched this bookmark for her daughter, it’s so fun and cheerful! One of the best things about this pattern is that you choose your own colors for it, I didn’t even chart suggestions, so it’s more your pattern than my pattern. Enjoy!
Happy Stitching!
