You fold it over the page you want to mark and the back has a magnet that holds the bookmark in place.

I just love this simple ingenuity!

I am one lucky girl.
peace

And your husband is one lucky man that his wife is over the moon about a bookmark! Most of them have to worry about jewelry or expensive sewing machines! :)

Could someone tell me the difference between American Quilters Society vs. Quilter's Club of America?

Don't know much about the magazine, but it seems you have a great hubby.

I have one myself and really like how it works. Great husband to get exactly what you want and need.

They are two different publications. AQS is its own magazine, wonderful and showcases quilt shows and new techniques.

QCofA is the on line part of Fons & Porter magazine.

You can search each one and see the difference.

imho, AQS is more geared toward new techniques and education in a more professional way. I don't like to use the word advanced concepts, but it does have a lot of techniques that most quilters will never challenge themselves with. I have learned so much from this magazine, and have always found something to try. I think it is the cream on top of the milk.

As we speak my little treasure of a book mark is in Varney the Vampire or, The feast of Blood, by James Malcome Rymer.

It is a colossal book comprised of 'penny dreadfuls , published in 1845

Penny Dreadfuls are chapters written and sold in the streets for a penny. Every week there was a new chapter.

There are the precurser to Bram Stoker

You can buy bookmarks in Barnes & Noble that are little magnets that fold over the page. I would be constantly loosing my page if I didn't use those.
