Just need to put the backing on….
…..and it’s done!
This is a kit that was passed down to me from a friend, which she purchased in England many years ago. It’s called the Medieval Herb Garden Bookmark Kit by a company called Textile Heritage. (Here’s a link to an English company that sells them.)
I stitched it over the course of about a year, mostly in short stints while on holidays. Recently, I managed to do the final touches, including inserting some cardboard in-between the backing felt and the Aida.
I love all the details in this – there’s butterflies, and bees around the beehive, and all the little walled gardens – and the tassel!
I can see myself making more cross-stitched bookmarks using this technique – maybe with slightly more simple designs, though!
Anyways, see ya!
