Bookmarks for Literacy
Last year, needlework designer and children's book author Jen Funk
Weber combined her passions and created a Stitching for Literacy
bookmark design campaign. In its first year, 429 hand-stitched
bookmarks were collected and donated to schools, libraries and
literacy programs.
The "Needle and ThREAD: Stitching for Literacy" campaign continues in
2008. If you have extra fabric, extra thread, or even just a few extra
minutes this month, consider organizing your stitching friends or work
with your local needlework shop to create a few bookmarks for the
program. You can find details here: www.jenfunkweber.com.om.
Bookmarks can be a fun project to stitch between your larger projects.
This month we feature a sweet little design to make a gift for a
baby's first keepsake bookmark. The Tokens & Trifles perforated paper
shape makes finishing so easy!
Design Size: 2" x 3"
