Bookmarks are great small and fast stitching projects. What about secret santa for one of your friends. Today I am sharing one completed by a customer.
Sharon emailed this to me recently. She stitched it using a size 8 perle cotton. There is no pattern as this is one of her “doodles”. The background is a dark green 32 count linen she picked up at her local thrift store – great find! Finished size is 6 ½ by 1 ¼ inches.
On a quick search I found a number of patterns

Naturally, you could make one up as Sharon did. Have fun and experiment!
I have a selection of mixed size 8 samplers in the shop – check out the link below! These would be great for stitching some.
Thank you Sharon
