Colonial Sampler Bookmark by Earth Threads



Here's the 9th bookmark I stitched that will be donated through the charity group to a literacy program.

This chart must have been in my stash for about a decade! It's a freebie from Earth Threads. The thing that's interesting is that on it is written:

Dedicated to the stitchers of American On-Line
who allow all of us
to connect in the vast cyber world!
What a wonderful group of people!
And--as always to JCS.

Gosh! That takes me back! It's been a long, long time since I hosted chats about cross-stitch on AOL and had guest cross-stitch designers come to chat with us and talk about the design process. Talk about a time warp!

Anyway, I used a bit of 14 ct aida banding for this bookmark. It measures about 2" x 7.5".

I don't stitch many samplers. But I find these small bookmark samplers very enjoyable.
