I am participating in a bookmark swap with a group of ladies that belong to, Tricia Textile Challenge yahoo group. You can reach this group through Tricia blog, called "Lets Create"!! The rules were to create any kind of bookmark using your favorite book as a theme. I have several favorite kinds of book I enjoy reading but "Anne of Green Gable" is one of my very favorite. So I got out my supplies of 100 % wool roving, yarn and 100% wool fabric to punch on shown above and started to felt away. 
I decided to do a sorta rose bud and bow look. I know Marilla loved roses amongst her many flowers in her garden and so do I. vbg 
For the backing of the bookmark I used hand dyed shades of green fabric with timtex place in between the layers to give it stiffness. I also added one of my favorite quotes that Anne stated when she arrived at Green Gables. Anne said, "This Island is the bloomiest place. I just love it already, and I'm so glad I'm going to live here. I've always heard that Prince Edward Island was the prettiest place in the world..." I have not been to PEI but hopefully one day I will be able to travel to PEI and see this bloomiest place. I am sure I will love it too. 
One could not have a Anne of Green Gable Bookmark without the words "Kindred Spirit" on it. So I printed off some "Green Words" and stitched them onto the center of the bookmark. 
Here is the finished "Anne of Green Gable Bookmark" I used the 100% wool dyed yarn and stitched it around the edges with the button hole stitch and made a wee rose bud in the bottom left corner. I enjoyed making this quick and easy bookmark so much I may create a couple more for gifts. VBG I just have to tell you all about the new book out called, "The Prequel to Anne of Green Gables, "Before Green Gables" by a sweet lady named Budge Wilson. You can see this book at Penguin Group. I am enjoying this book immensely. I can not say enough great things about this lovely book. I hope anyone that is a huge fan of Anne of Green Gables like I am will have the opportunity to read this book.
Hugs to all, Judy
