Area of Study: Embroidery (Hand) Class Hours: 3 Class Type: Project Skill Level: All
This quick bookmark project is a great place to practice your embroidery stitches whether you are a beginner or an advanced stitcher.
Class time will allow you to work on either a corner or magnetic bookmark - both designs complement each another and are included in your kit.
The corner bookmark slips over the top of the page of the current thriller you are reading, keeping your place until you are ready to return.
This design contains a slightly padded satin stitch monogram with a satin stitched circular border. Filling in the corners you find padded satin stitch
leaves (using a different padding technique than your monogram), granito flowers and a backstitched vine.
The rectangular magnetic companion wraps around the page you would like to mark. You may stitch this design with the stitches utilized
on the corner marker above or use a group of simpler stitches for faster results - back stitches and seed stitches for the monogram; stem stitch;
lazy daisy and French knots complete the vines.
Final construction is completed at home.
Made from the finest materials available, this project is a great place to master and admire your new stitching skills. There are enough materials
in your kit to stitch both designs making your "Corner Mark" a part of your reading pleasure!
