Book Lover Quotes Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit Set of 6 by Wizardi F07AM12-4-SQ003

Stitch book lover quotes bookmarks, a cross stitch bookmark kit set of 6 by Wizardi: six pastel panels in blush, lavender and teal carry witty reading sayings such as "between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be" and "it's a good day to read a book", with little stacks of books, coffee cups and bookshelves.

A little stitcher's folklore: readers say a book with a hand-stitched bookmark is always finished, because you will want to see the bookmark again.

Why this kit: if you want a gift that makes a reader smile, the funny quotes are perfect for a book club or a librarian friend.

In the box: six bookmark panels pre-printed on 14 count Aida, cotton embroidery floss in every colour, a pattern chart, 6 needles, a needle threader, a small pair of scissors and self-adhesive felt to back the finished bookmarks. Not included: a hoop, which is optional for such a narrow piece.

How to stitch: thread a needle with two strands of floss and work the full cross stitches over the printed colours, checking the chart as you go; the print shows you where every stitch belongs, so there is no counting from the edge. When a bookmark is finished, trim it and press the felt backing on to cover the back and keep it neat inside a book.

A quick, relaxing project for beginners and experienced stitchers alike, and a thoughtful gift for book lovers, book club friends and teachers; stitch the six bookmarks to keep or give away one by one.
