The lily of the valley is the birth flower of May symbolising purity, happiness and luck. This pretty stem is stitched by Sarah using freehand machine embroidery, a technique also known as drawing with thread. The design is created by moving the fabric (positioned in a hoop) freely underneath the needle of her domestic machine, therefore creating a unique piece of art. Feather stitch is used to attach a second piece of linen to the reverse giving a heavier weight of fabric as well as producing a decorative border. The bookmarks are finished with a narrow frayed edge. Measurements approx. 10 x 20 cm. Your bookmark will be beautifully wrapped in tissue paper and posted in a hard-board envelope. Perfect for any botanical and book lover.
