March 19 - May 7
Celebrate reading and stitching! Join Cross-Stitch & Needlework magazine and participating independent needlework shops, and stitch a bookmark that will be donated to a library or school during Children’s Book Week to reward reading accomplishments.
Participating in the Needle and Thread: Stitching for Literacy 2009 Bookmark Challenge from Funk & Weber Designs is easy and fun!
Step 1: Stitch a bookmark (or two, or three…). Any hand-stitched bookmark counts:
- any pattern (one you purchase or one you make up)
- on any ground (perforated paper, aida, linen, canvas, etc.)
- with any fibers (cotton, silk, metallics, beads, etc.)
- using any needlework technique (cross stitch, blackwork, hardanger, etc.)
Step 2: Send your bookmark to the address below between March 19 and May 7 (or any time of year, as we will collect bookmarks year-round). Once the bookmarks are received we'll send them to a library to help promote literacy through stitching!
