Designer Spotlight: Yellow Birdie Stitches
If you love to cross stitch bookmarks, Yellow Birdie Stitches is the Etsy shop for you. The shop is based in the UK and almost all of its designs are bookmarks (there are also some cute square designs).
You’ll find bookmarks about everything from romance novel tropes to Asian inspired towers, cats and Art Nouveau designs.
This one of a mermaid reading would be fun for summer, whether for you or for a mermaid loving person in your life. It measures 24 by 78 stitches and the patterns offer measurements for three different stitch counts, but it’s about 1.75 by 3.5 inches (or 4.4 by 8.8 cm) when stitched on 14 count fabric.
It’s shown here on white fabric but the pattern also recommends light green or blue if you have that in your stash. It calls for 14 colors (or 15 if you choose to use Light Effects thread for part of the project) and it looks like it’s all whole cross stitches with a fair bit of back stitching.
You’ll also need some felt or card stock to finish the back of your bookmark, though it is shown freshly stitched here.
In addition to the bookmarks you’ll also find some square designs that I think are designed to be coasters or mounted onto greeting cards, but of course you could frame them in a small square frame as well.
The cat section has several of these with a cats and bonsai theme. There’s also a coffee set that includes a bookmark, coaster and keychain fob. You’ll also find some seasonal designs.
In addition to the above mentioned categories, you’ll find bookmarks with birds, bugs and dragons; patterns for spring, summer, autumn, Easter, Halloween and Christmas; fantasy designs and projects for tea lovers.
So grab an audiobook and a project form Yellow Birdie Stitches to make for your next paper book read.

It doesn’t mention it on the blog page but before you take the time to wind your floss onto these labels you should make sure that your printer ink won’t transfer to the threads, especially in damp or humid conditions. (Try rubbing the labels with a scrap of damp white cloth.) Also she said that she stuck the labels to pizza boxes but it would be preferable to use acid free card stock.
