:applesauce: Very nice! I need to try making a bookmark soon. I never did and am a bookworm so I should have cross stitched bookmarks!

A pincushion I made.

This was the original shape I stitched, before adding a line of backstitch and whipstitching it together. Now I am contemplating whether to add a button in the middle and pull it in a bit, like a biscornu. :thinks:

I am thinking to stitch this again as a flat pattern, in a different colour, perhaps adding something in the corners.

Great bookmark Agi, and I love the little pin cushion! Will have to try that method of finishing as it looks brilliant. I think a button would look great in the middle, but it doesn't need it :)

:applesauce: :applesauce: That's great, Agi. Yes, I agree with Rose. It might be fun to add a button to see what it looks like.

too many good projects to comment on. I have been to Biltmore Estates and the ornament is such a good picture. :applesauce: :applesauce:
love the book marks (I need to get going and make some. I read when I'm not stitching)
and the pin cushions. :applesauce: :applesauce:

I need some mini projects as a break from the big ones. And there are so many lovely patterns right here.

Lovely work everyone.

I'm still 'obsessed' with these 'flower pot' sticks, so here are the most recent ones. I think a couple would be cute as decorations for kids' birthday cakes, etc. So the possibilities are endless . . .
