Years back I made a ton of bookmarks. I made 12 one year for a literacy program. I made a bookmark for each member of my quilt group - about 25. I made a bookmark for each member of my high school girl group - 8 or 9. I made bookmarks for each of my daughters. I made bookmarks to try out new embroidery techniques.
I even made a few bookmarks for myself.
Here's a smattering of some of my finishes:
Pretty Fall Leaves - for a quilting friend
Bunny Butts
Examples of "pattern darning"
Two layers of felt with a window for the stitchery - for Easter. The bunny is done in petit point.
Two layers of ultrasuede with a window
Pretty hearts in a repeating pattern stitched on Ribband
A dragon for my eldest, Jeanne
Bright sunflowers
Embroidery on paper with metallic threads
Heraldic Rose - from a kit. This was fairly expensive for a bookmark, but the quality is great. I kept this for myself.
Train - for a children's hospital
Tonal bird - for one of my gal pals
My favorite giraffe - I kept for myself and use regularly
