A model from the Bookmarks 101 finishing class starting on November 16. Registration is open at The Stitchers’ Village.

I’ve been threatening to put together a bookmark finishing class, and–ta-da!–I did.

Series? Seriously?
Um…maybe. Once I got started, I couldn’t stop, and I quickly wound up with samples and outlines for two classes. We’ll see.

One of the Microtus voles (as opposed to the red-backed voles); I would guess a meadow vole. Voles are mice with short tails. The grassland around the lagoon bustles with these.Funk & Weber Winner

The winner is…

I showed you this picture a few days ago; it’s a noodle I found while searching through my stash. When I discovered it this time, I envisioned it as a bookmark, and pulled it out to work on it.
