Review on 📚 Counted Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit - Orangery Design on Cream Background by Textile Heritage by Angela Rodriguez

This is an elegant piece. Very silky Aida fabric. I like the green tassel (an unexpected surprise that wasn't on the web). The felt backing gives it a clean look. I also really liked the backstory of Louis XIV's Orangery at Versailles in 1685. Because the project consists of 3 threads (plus felt backing), the bookmark is a bit unwieldy. I tried working in 2 threads but the color is not that saturated. so back to three! It also bothers me that the template cannot be centered on the tab. The pattern requires one stitch more or less. But I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I decided to sew the windows 2-3 stitches to give the design a smoother look. All in all, this is a great piece. I keep walking across the room to check it out!
