Okay I found those bookmarks so here's the image heavy post I promised last time.



June Bookmark

May Bookmark

October Bookmark

I'm not sure what flowers these are.

November Bookmark

Or these... they're not peonies, are they?

December Bookmark

I really like that they didn't go for poinsettias. Poinsettias are beautiful, don't get me wrong, but as a December baby I at least get kind of tired of them after a while. Why couldn't we get Christmas Cactus as our flower? At least that's actually a flower...

/cough/ sorry, didn't mean to go on a mini rant!

Anyway...

BaB WIP 1

This is the one I'm starting now, but... well, it's off center. I have no idea how this happened. And I don't mean a little, I counted and one margin is where the tip of my thumb touches that crease and the other is where my needle is stuck in the cloth. It will be extremely noticeable.

I'm seriously considering ripping it out and starting over, as frustrating as that always is... but I don't have a lot of certain colors that I've used on the butterfly. I don't know if I can do that, much as I want to... /sigh.

I love the bookmarks. I love the birth flower/language of the flowers-type lore. I had to look up October -- it's marigold.

As for the second one, will the margin difference be noticeable when you frame it? I am with you, it would be frustrating to have to rip all of that out.

A decent framer should have no problems with an inch of fabric, I think.
