I made this bookmark for my hubby to use in his bible. He loved it and immediately suggested I put it up here for all you cuties to see. Its from emblibrary and I stitched it on rainbow coloured organza.

I know you love fsl shirlene, its one of my favourites too but with organza I find it even looks nicer and its really easy to do. one only has to be a bit careful in trimming around the finished designs as to not cut any stitches. flower reciprocated
211079When you say two layers of wss do you mean. hoop wws and then the organza and then more wss on top? and then you sew the design

you got it sweetie, wws underneath organza and then again wss and hoop all three and stitch. never had any probs but best is you use the fabric type wss not the plastic type one, hope you understand what I mean. flower for you

joanie you could check for rainbow coloured organza at shops that sell deco stuff, thats where I actually bought mine, it came in a 3m packet. however it may also be available in fabric shops. its really wonderful cos it has all colours of rainbow-my design was not big enough but there is also blue and green shades in it. flower reciprocated

thanks loretta, I just hooped organza between two layers of wss and embroidered the design. then washed, dried and ironed using a towel on top of it (never iron directly on organza - you can end up with a nicely melted mess, I sadly know what I'm talking about lol) flowers for you
