Just so you know, the bookmarks I craft on are pre-made; the white fabric (called aida cloth) and the crocheted border (or in this case the red border) come in a package just like that ;) It saves me a lot of time. I like to crochet, but the edging on these bookmarks is created with a itty bitty needle that I have a hard time holding right. But one of these days I'll have that mastered.
The cross stitched design ON the bookmarks is hand crafted by yours truly, but the designs are from a pattern book that I have. Most times I may modify the design colors or wording. For example, for the bookmark pictured here, I designed the text using graph paper and my imagination. I used a pattern for the boat.
I have recently purchased a pattern maker which will allow me to make just about anything into a cross stitch project. A photo, a logo, something from my imagination. I'm looking forward to using it in the near future.
