Traditional Patterns in Bookmarks

Here are a couple of bookmarks showing traditional patterns, 

and I use them here in some of my favorite books, 

which are: 

John Berger, Das Kunstwerk, Wagenbach, 1992

the names of the patterns are:

Churn Dash, Card Tricks and Road to California

Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land,

HarperCollins 2021

the name of the pattern is: 

Log Cabin

David Mitchell, Utopia Avenue,

Sceptre, 2020

here simple patches are used and hand-quilted 

(as all my bookmarks are hand-sewn and hand-quilted)

Kristin Hannah, The Four Winds,

St. Martin's Press, 2021

the names of the patterns are:

Maltese Cross and Pinwheels

Isabel Allende, A Long Petal of the Sea,

Bloomsbury 2020

the names of the patterns are:

Four-Pointed Star,  Nine Patch and Amish Diamond

... and this is the book "Creativity, the perfect crime" by 

Philippe Petit (the legendary tightrope-dancer) and

the name of the pattern in my bookmark here is "Irish Chain"

I wish you have a lovely summer time and - if you like books - have always some lovely books at hand to accompany you.

like the ones shown here before, this one, too, holds little things,

like now my folded note of a June-Haiku,

and opens up like this:

In case anyone would like to check on how to fold the Origami-paper-purse, I found useful instructions here:

For working with fabrics I added some things like a double layer of fabrics, a third layer in the center for a reinforced downside or special seams or quilted lines, and a small button inside. (sewn and quilted by hand)
