And it's hardanger again

My Christmas preparations are well under way.   This intended gift will become a bookmark for a friend at church.
But before I do the lacy infill I want to stitch the pieces for a tassell on the rest of the linen.
This buttonhole/kloster block edging is very pretty though and gives a real feminine touch.

Your hardanger work always looks so impressive Margaret.

Very pretty! It will be a treasured book mark, I am sure.

Lovely bookmark. The edges are a little more decorative than usual. Very pretty.
