Bookmark

What to do with a sample of thread from a thread exchange? It was one shuttle full, just enough for this cute little bookmark made from the straight edge of the pattern for Hen & Chicks Cross found at http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/vangogh/235/crosses/eliz2cross.html. The thread is Altin Basak, size 50. Actually this was another thread that I wanted to try as I had seen reference to it but never had my hands on any. Now I have!

This cross pattern turned out very nice as a bookmark. I also like the color of this thread. Thanks for sharing.
