In between working on the china hutch edgings I’ve made several cross bookmarks as gifts
This one is April’s Cross that I gifted as a wedding gift. The bride sent me a picture of it as I did not remember to take one of the finished bookmark before I gave it away. It came out nicely.
I also made one to celebrate a baptism. Well, I made two, as I wasn’t happy with the first one. The pattern is my take on a traditional cross.
Both of these are made in size 20 Lizbeth thread #605, Silver. I wasn’t thrilled about the length of the long arm of the top one, it didn’t look proportionally correct with the other arms. So I’ll keep the first one for me.
Both recipients were pleased with their gifts, which also makes me happy.
Now I need to stay on task and finish the third edging for the china hutch.
“The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The crosses are beautiful! They do make a nice gift. I’m looking forward to seeing that final edging!
They’re really pretty crosses.
Beautiful crosses, always a good piece of tatting to gift, love the pattern
