Cross Stitch Bookmark

Looking for a Last-Minute Gift Idea for Valentine's Day? Create a quick Cross Stitch Bookmark. I repeated the free Mini Heart C seven times to create my bookmark design using cross stitch and cross stitch variations to stitch the design.

Use Aida fabric and your favorite embroidery floss to create a unique gift. Chose a small design as I did or add the initials of your sweetheart to personalize the design.

If, like me, you don't have a particular Valentine in mind this year, stitch a bookmark for yourself - be your own Valentine!

Love this bookmark. It was the first one I made. I used 16 count and dark pink on white.
