Giveaway: PrintWorks Vanishing Fabric Transfers

by

Last week I told you about my experience trying out the new PrintWorks Vanishing Fabric Transfers, which are great for adding personalized embroidery or other touches to projects.

I have a package to give away this week.

What you’ll get is one (opened but unused) pack of Vanishing Fabric Transfers, which is five sheets of 8.5×11 inches each. They come with all the instructions you need to successfully print and transfer a project (I promise it’s really easy!).

This giveaway is open to United States residents only. To enter, leave a comment on what you would do with this transfer paper!

Comment before the end of the day on Friday, June 19 for a chance to win.

  2. I’d love to use this transfer paper to add designs and words to cloth for hand embroidery. Transferring designs is always so tricky for me!

  23. I would use this for making vintage pillows and doilies. Would also be great for making personalized baby gifts.

  24. I would use it to make a LG project bag for my Mom, who is a knitter & sewer, and starting to quilt more since retiring.

Bookmark Cross Stitch Patterns

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun. 

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
