I made these for my daughter Kimeya. The one on the left is art deco and has her name. The one on the right is bumble bee's. For both I used felt and med wt tear away. The bumble bee bookmark did the border at the end so I was able to attach a piece of lavender fabric to the back to cover up the stitching. The one with her name I'm not sure how I will back that one, it didn't do a border/frame at the end.
Here is the website for the one on the left I did change the design, removed the letter B that was on it and replaced with my daughters name

The one on the right is from

and I did change the colors to my liking and what I have on hand for thread.

TY I still don't know if they are FSL or not but they stiched out ok.
If they held together when you washed you the stabilizer they are free standing, I have stitched out the one on the right. Lots of fun.

I didn't use WSS on them I used tear away because I didn't know if they were FSL or not.

Charlie, they are wonderful - most FSL does not have a backing - it is what it is - but if you felt inclined to add a backing - I guess you just glue a piece of felt to the back - but if it is true FSL - you do not need to stitch it on anything but the stablizer. Hehehe! Great job!

TY Shirlene, I saw a video on youtube and the woman put a backing on hers and it was FSL so I didn't know. I wasn't positive if mine were FSL or not so I figured better safe than sorry and just stitched them up w/ felt and tear away. For the art deco one I took some sticky tear away and elmers glued it to the back lol works for me!
Charlie, it sounds like you have found what works for you - hope you enjoy doing more FSL and bookmarks - I myself adore them. Hehehe!
Oh really Shirl, would have never guessed -LOL - FSL Queen!! *4u
Claudia, funny - Hehehe!

They look good I have done the bumble bee It is a cross stitch and needs the backing The other looks like FSL. Normally with FSL you use the same thread in bobbin and you don't need to back

I tried to find out if it was FSL, but all the cuties had better things to do on a Saturday night go figure! I changed the colors in the bumble bee and used metallic for the outlines cuz I like shiny sparkly things lol *

Charlie, these are just great!! I'm surprised the FSL sewed out so well on the felt. Ok, now where did the bee one come from? I just love the metallic thread on it!! I'd like to try the bee one for a lady I know who keeps bees & sells honey. Poor bees aren't doing so well this year, maybe this would cheer her up. Thanks, and great job! Marji
