My Sons' Bookmarks

These are the two bookmarks that I stitched for my sons Donovan and Kevin. I finished Donovan's by turning the fabric to the back while Kevin's was finished by gluing it to some ultrasuede. Kevin's is about two years old now and has been used a lot, and washed a couple of times so it does show a little wear. I thought it would be interesting to show them side by side though, to show how different they look in different colors and finishings. I really like this pattern, but it is so difficult to stitch with blended needles and full, half and over-one stitches! I thought I would go crazy stitching them, but I made it - twice!

  1. These are gorgeous, Cindy. I don't know if I would be patient enough to stitch such a complicated design, especially twice in two colorways! You've done a great job - hope your sons will treasure them into their adult years, and pass them on to their kids. Family heirloom stuff here!

  2. As reported by Stanford Medical, It is in fact the one and ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 KG less than we do.

    (And actually, it is not about genetics or some hard exercise and EVERYTHING to do with "HOW" they eat.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
