Wattle bookmark

About all the stitching I've done in the last month. Sad really.

The design is a bit 'flat' as I had to iron the hell out of it to get the creases out. And the little wattle flowers at the bottom of the bookmark are only vaguely correct. I finished them while tired and grumpy (not a good mix) and just couldn't care less.

That and it's for my grandmother - she loves me and isn't going to hold some dodgy stitches against me.

The instructions for finishing were also a bui meh. Fold in half and hem stitch down the centre.  Needless to say the stitching down the back is anything but centred and looks pretty messy. The half stitches at either end look quite nice though and it was fun pulling out the threads for the frayed effect. (Simple pleasures, I know.)

I also loved the chart; hand drawn :-)
So old school.

Perfect? No. But as noted above, grandmother, love, not going to hold it against me.
