Pretty Autumn Bookmark
 

Pretty Autumn Bookmark by Deborah Lambein
This bookmark is made from the same leaflet as my Pretty Heart Bookmark, but I made a few changes.

First, I picked some nice autumn colors instead of using the pastel colors called for in the chart. I also added a 5th color to give it more pizzazz.

Next, I decided to make this bookmark shorter. I used three motifs instead of four.

Finally, I decided to make this bookmark with a point at the bottom. So I took the gold "dividing line" and adapted it into a stitched point that follows the point of the completed bookmark.

It's amazing to me that such little changes can make a big difference in how the finished pattern looks.
