The Mindy Bookmark

Melita scored a great little Mindy bookmark design plus threads and a needle minder, all in a tote, for her birthday.

I think Mindy's discontinued the bookmarks as I can't find them on her website, but they are easily available in the shops, Etsy and eBay.

Melita Finishes Coasters and a Bookmark

Melita has finished two coasters and a bookmark without expensive self-finishing items, reminding us that we can do it ourselves if we wish.

They look good, too!

Bookmarks in Chottie's Plaid

Melita had fun with Chottie's Plaid stitch, making bookmarks for herself and her husband for Christmas.

The Bookmark Tutorial

Jan likes making bookmarks using scrap canvas and leftover threads from her projects.  Here's how she does it—

A Bookmark For Fun

Colour Complements had a customer use their threads for a fun little bookmark she made up.  Many stitchers love to read, so this is a fun project for yourself or a stitching friend, or even your follow book club members.

Making Bookmarks

Jan Sprague is having fun working on an original Bargello design, but when she gets stuck, she makes a bookmark from leftover threads and canvas pieces. It's a nice way to keep one's hands busy with something useful while thinking through a design problem.

Stitching at the Library

The Embroidery Association of Canada's Regina Chapter has teamed up with the Sunrise Public Library to display various types of handwork along with books about each type.  Clever idea!
http://eac-blog.blogspot.com/2015/03/on-display-regina-stitchery-guild.html

Speaking of literacy, Funk and Weber Designs supports Mountain View Elementary School Library's literacy program with hand made bookmarks.  This is an Alaskan school (Funk and Weber is in Alaska) and their local EGA chapter has folded.  So Jen is looking for help and she needs it fast.

If you can stitch a bookmark (any technique or design except for religious themes are welcome) and ship them off to Funk and Weber, here's the place to send them--

Karen Bente

Arctic Needle

4615 E 102nd Ave

Anchorage, AK 99507

Speed is of the essence, though, since they are handed out at a ceremony in April.  Of course Funk and Weber will keep those that arrive after April 1 for next year but they really do need help ASAP!
