We interupt this article…

To bring you a free valentine bookmark pattern!

More multi-colored threads soon. I promise. But I wanted to share this quick to stitch design that I did for my dear husband early enough that you could stitch it for your valentine if you wanted. :) Click the pictures for a larger version of the chart and photo.

I stitched it with 3 strands of DMC 321 red on 28 count Monaco and then with 2 strands, ran a line of nun’s stitch around the edge, 8 threads out from the design. and cut it so that it had a fringed edge (6 threads on the long sides and 20 on the short). Final result:

Happy Valentine’s Day a bit early!
