WIPW - The First Bookmark

Here is another Work In Progress Wednesday report:


Hexablooms

I made the allocated set of 10 hexagon flowers. Totally I have 290 blocks now.



Birthday Present

The first bookmark I made as a birthday present (I have made two so far) can now be shown on my blog because the gift has been opened on the other side of the Globe.

The embroidery is based on a flower sewn on the apron of a folk costume from the mid-east area of Sweden. I love the folksy style.



Birthday Card

I also had to send a birthday card to my aunt, on her 99th birthday.
It was a long time since I used silk ribbon for embroidery and I had to look up the basic Ribbon Embroidery Stitch.

    The ribbon work card is pretty and cheerful. I'm sure your aunt will enjoy receiving it for her special birthday.
    The linen banding for the Swedish themed bookmark does make finishing off easier. It looks lovely.

    It was sent to a very far country.😵
    I think simple flowers are lovely because they are simple. The flowers with embroidered ribbons are very cute. I like both flowers. Making and sending Presents such as birthday cards is a happy task.😊
