above is the tiny quilted bookmark that jen made me for my birthday. jen knows my wildly snobbish attitudes towards design and bookmarks and has supplied me with successful options in the past. in fact, when faced with an aesthetic challenge, i often turn to jen because her complex and inexpressible requirements of colour and palette dwarf my snobberies considerably. even when i can't understand her mysterious formulae, i tend to appreciate the finished result or her colour combinations (in outfits, textiles or otherwise).
so let me know jen, does this combination of afghan, bookmark, vase and flowers explode in a perfect symphony of colour? or is that just how i see it?
either way, the bookmark will be put to quick use and the flowers (from kayla) are brightening up my mornings considerably.

The bookmark is lovely. It reminds me a bit of the colour scheme of that fabric that Leah bought from the Workroom the day of Love and Rummage 2...
that bookmark is amazing (jen is a genius of colour and pattern) - and confirming tara's suspicions, it's a colour scheme i gravitate towards lately.
your combinations here look beautiful to me!
the bookmark also verges on the colour scheme of my forever quilt project. i think that orange fabric was used in the original design for the toronto craft alert.
I as going to ask about the quilt. I'd like to see more of it!
i'd like to see more of it, too. but almost all of my hobby crafts have been eclipsed by recent sicknesses and non-hobby work. i have been sticking fabric aside still, but i don't know when my hexagons will resume. sad. face.
ooh, late to the party!
before i read this post at all i thought "well freaking done becky on the matching front". success! (& thanks for the skilz stroke.)
