Celestial bookmark

Today I decided to take a break from pig projects and work on my bookmark.


Photobucket

Actually, for a bookmark it is very big. The dimensions are 30 wide x 120 high. And most of the area is solid stitching. I put my scissors next to it so you can get some idea how big it is. I love stitched bookmarks and when I was looking for a bookmark, I found I had hardly any let alone many stitched. I left my most favourite one at Colins mum's so I guess I won't be seeing it again. Being a prolific reader, one can never have too many bookmarks, but in my case, not enough!

Colin cooked the dinner today as I am still feeling sore, but getting there.

  6. I love your bookmark! Just curious what designer it is from as I have a sister who is in celestrial themes. Sounds like you are feeling better. Take care!

  7. Hi Lisa,
    It is from a chart booklet. 123 stitch does not sell it but this site does where I got mine. I can vouch for them as they are Europes largest online needlework shop.

  9. Very nice bookmark! I'm the moon child so I love the moon and stars. Believe or not, I never stitched a bookmark and I do not own one... you just gave me an idea to think about it...
