A bookmark cross with flowers pattern has been added to the Stitching Cards collection.
This bookmark would make a great gift for a bible reader. It could also be used on a greetings card for religious occasions such as Easter.
The pattern size is 152 mm x 104 mm (6 x 4½ inches).
Stitching Cards customer Angela has sent us pictures of some colourful bookmarks. They are made with Stitching Cards bookmark patterns.
Angela said: “My 13 year-old daughter is our primary stitcher. Last spring she and I made bookmarks for all the teachers our children have had in the local elementary school. It was our last year there, so we had the teachers over for a luncheon to thank them for their work. They each chose a bookmark to take home and were just thrilled. Teachers do love books, and what a great keepsake.
“Instead of folding the paper in half to hide the threads, we mount the bookmark on a second piece of cardstock in a coordinating colour.”
Six bookmark patterns have been added to the Stitching Cards collection.
They are bookmark high healed boot, bookmark dress, bookmark flower bud, bookmark lamp post, bookmark thistle and bookmark tie. They can be stitched as bookmarks or as cards with added words of your choice. The patterns are ideal for birthdays and to send messages such as congratulations, well done, thank you, with love or invitation.
The patterns are available individually and in a value pack of all six designs. The pattern size is 152 mm x 52 mm (6 x 2¼ inches).

There is a range of patterns on the Stitching Cards web site that are designed to fit on a card 50 mm x 152 mm (2 ins x 6 ins). This is half the width of a standard double fold card so it enables them to be used as bookmarks or greetings cards.
