Vintage Books Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit by Wizardi F07AM12-15-SQ017

The Vintage Books bookmark design stacks well-worn hardcover books topped with a teacup, and surrounds them with small sprigs of blossom and a fluttering detail, all rendered in a soft, watercolor-inspired palette of cream, sage green, blush pink, and gold. The gentle shading gives the finished bookmark a warm, cozy-reading-corner look rather than a bold graphic one.

Why this kit: the softened, watercolor-style shading is charted to preserve its gentle color blending even at counted-stitch scale; the book-and-teacup motif suits both a personal reading habit and gift-giving for fellow readers; the bookmark format turns a quick stitch project into a piece that gets used every day.

Kit includes: pre-printed/pre-stamped 14 count Aida bookmark fabric, the DMC embroidery floss colors called for in the chart, a needle, and illustrated instructions.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the printed color chart and symbol key, placing each stitch in its marked position on the Aida fabric with the matching DMC floss color, and building the book and floral design section by section until the bookmark is complete.

Rated suitable for beginners, this kit is a good fit for book lovers and tea drinkers, and makes a thoughtful handmade gift for anyone who enjoys a cozy reading routine.
