Quilting - denim bookmarks

I have made up some denim book marks using scraps leftover from other projects.  I cut strips 1.5" wide from the scraps I had available and then stitched two back to back with the "good" side out which on some of these is the worn, distressed and textured side.  I cut a few individuals and then stitched the remaining ones into a long strip from which I cut lengths of 6" - 8" depending on where the closest overlap was.  I then stitched on both sides of where I cut the bookmarks and then used my crop a dile to make holes at the top.  I will be finishing all the holes with stitching using variegated thread.  That will be a good slow stitching project for the next few weeks.  I am leaving them without other decoration and will be promoting them as DIY art projects where the recipient can add their own embellishments or art to make them their own.  It could be in the way of stitching, gel or ball point pen, markers, acrylic paint, Inktense watercolour, etc.  A fun project!!
