My LNS (The Stitching Post, Catonsville, MD; www.the-stitching-post.com)
usually has several of the Textile Heritage kits in stock. They're
beautiful, but pricey. I did the Celtic knotwork bookmark. Though the
projects appear quick and simple, it didn't go as quickly as I'd

imagined (but what ever does? <VBG>) I think the aida supplied is 18
count, in case that matters to anyone.

The aida supplied is not your average stiff aida. It is so soft and supple
and pleasant to work with. And for "little" projects, the level of detail is
amazing. I did one, many moons ago, that had a total of three stitches in
one color (the center of the flower). If the designer had left it all one
shade of yellow, it would have worked, but with the second shade, it popped
and looked more realistic.

More freebie suggesions:
From Rainbow Gallery:
http://www.rainbowgallery.com/freechart.cfm
They have a ton of nice Erica Michaels stuff that would be quick to
stitch and could even be holiday oriented - like a witch hat - or
everyone could do their initial(s). . .

I'm always thinking I want to do bookmarks to give for gifts, but never seem
to get around to doing them.
How do you finish the back to make it smooth and pretty?
