A Blackwork Bookmark

I recently had a big sort out and reorganise, of course nothing much was thrown away but everything is now more logically organised.  During the process of finding things long since forgotten I came across a small unfinished sampler strip of blackwork which I can remember sewing when Sar was on board.  

With so little work required to finish off the sampler I'm surprised I hadn't completed it.  So out came the needle and the required rows were added.  As the piece is roughly bookmark sized I stuck a red felt backing onto it and added a row of running stitch around the edge to finish it off.  

This is probably the shortest entry on the blog but I found it quite satisfying to finish off a piece so easily.
