I do my bookmarks on left-over bits of fabric - I don`t bother buying the
special Aida banding stuff. In fact when I set up for a project, I usually
leave extra fabric so I can do a few bookmarks around the same piece, just
to have a change every now and then!!!

At the moment I have two projects going on the same frame - "The Watchers"
(back view of a group of Native American women obviously - er - WATCHING
something, and a Thomas Kinkade Stepping Stone Cottage one on the other
side - I just turn it round in the clamp to have a change. I don`t think
I`ll ever do another Thomas Kinkade - they are too garish for my taste. I
prefer natural colours. Back to my cottages and trees etc.

The edges turn over very easily Pat - what are you doing the bookmarks on
..... the ones I did for the grandkids (love all 4 of them) were the
pre-made bookmarks - I think they're Aida (blech for anything but
bookmarks
or ornaments). You just go ahead and send 'em over Girl - I'll fix 'em up
in a hurry. (Ew, I love that word 'Cleverclogs')

You betcha - I can't wait for the shindig in June - or June in fact - when
I'm quite sure the temperature will not be MINUS 45 C.

OK, Cleverclogs - that still doesn`t tell me how I turn over the
cotton-pickin` EDGES neatly! I`ll just send them to you.

Are you going to be at this shindig in June, when Gill gets up there?
I`m
so jealous!

Here's what you do Pat - hold the bookmark down on the floor with your
foot,
take your already-cut-out piece of sticky felt, lay it carefully on
the
back
of the bookmark, then stomp on it - poof, done. :-) Hope all is well
across the pond. Want some cold weather - it was minus 39C here the
other
day - most delightful. (I have to say that cuz Sheena won't let me
live
something down - the little f**t.

That's a nice way to finish bookmarks Pat .... and you can also do
what
I
did for the grandkids for Christmas ... just turn over the edges
and
put
sticky felt on the back - quick and easy.

Can`t help you with a site, but I cross stitch a single line all
round,
a
few rows in, and fray out the edges. Then I back the bookmark
with
iron
on
sticky-backed felt. Nice neat job and easy-peasy.

Is there a site anywhere on the net that shows or describes
how
to
finish
the edges of bookmarkers.
