Motifs 14, 15, and 16

For my sister's birthday in March, I usually do something Irish.  A longstanding tradition, maybe a little corny, but I still do it every year.

Here we have this year's gift, the Clover Bookmark by Kelly Luljak in size 10 Lizbeth Christmas Green.  Supposed to be a graduated/tapered point on the bottom as well, but I ran out of thread.  :(  Looks fine with a square bottom, though, I think.

The matching earrings are a simple clover design in size 80 Lizbeth Christmas Green.  I tried them first in the size 10, (see below) but they were a bit BIG.
 Here's another set of the little earrings, my mom's Mother's Day gift, and a bookmark I made based on the pattern in the Handy Hands newsletter.  Horrible picture due to using a low contrast between the bookmark and background, but it's too late to take another picture. Already gifted it.  :)  It was done in Perle Cotton.
I made a pair of earrings based on the bookmark as well.  Maybe I'll have a photo ready for my next post.
