I have made “cross” ones that I’ve given to family/friends for their Bibles. I have a book of tatted cross bookmarks that I would love to make - gorgeous. I can needle tat, but these require shuttle tatting which I have not delved into yet.
My Aunt was very active with her church - they had a bazaar every December & the money went to help those less fortunate. She was suffering with heart failure & could not make any of the things she usually made ... she was an excellent seamstress and had all sorts of cute things she would contribute. I put together a bunch of bookmarks - cross & some other designs & sent them to FL for the bazaar since she couldn’t do anything. I felt good about it, they sold quite a few, and she was grateful for the help. As it turned out, she did not survive the heart failure so that just makes all things ‘bookmark’ more special to me.
Sweet story. Thank you for sharing.
