Chottie’s Plaid Bookmarks

Filed under: ANG New Jersey Needle Artists Chapter, Chottie's Plaid

The New Jersey Needle Artists (NJNA) chapter decided to do a birthday plaid as a name tag, but I made a reversible bookmark for Bill and I. Not only did I finish stitching Bill’s Birthday Plaid, but I was able to finish them while Bill was out golfing – all before Christmas!

I carefully cut windows out of 2 pieces of ultrasuede for each bookmark. Then, I glued them together. It’s not easy to cut even with a sharp blade on my x-acto knife.

Mine has one white side and one black side.

Bill’s is beige on both sides.

These were done and wrapped under the tree Christmas morning. It was a good year to get bookmarks because there were several books under the tree for both of us for the long winter hibernation! One book of mine is already done. I highly recommend A Thursday Murder Club Mystery series by Richard Osman.

They look great !! Glad to hear you will get use out of them. I read about the book and put it on my “wish list” – sounds like a good read. Thanks !
