Two more bookmarks that I've just made : the text on the top one is too small to stitch out properly so I've abandoned that idea. The total cost of the repairs is estimated at £109,000 (that's $213,000 US, $226,000 AUS or 138,000 euros!) and so far we've raised around £40,000 so we'll have to do a lot more than sell bookmarks, but at least it'll bring in some money. I've no idea how much to charge for them though - has anyone ever sold something like this and if so, how much did you charge? Love

They are very pretty, Dianne - I like the blue one. Sorry I can't help you with price though. *4U

I like the bottom one. Nice lettering. I hope you make quite a bit of money with this project.

dianned be encouraged God has a way of working it ALL for His good. You have assigned angels working behind the scene to bring it to pass ;0 This is * 4U ;)

That is a lot to raise. is the church heritage listed.
i always say if you are a cent off the price of a loaf of bread you can't buy it so it doesen't matter how much anyone contributes to a cause it maybe that last cent that is needed. Hope you make your goal.The blue one i do like it stands out more.

The Church is a Grade 1 listed building; we've got a huge grant already, there is just another £46,000 for us to find!

Hello Dianne. They must sell still many bookmarks to them to enough money together have. I wish you a lot of luck that you this create. Flowers for you

what a lovely church design, they came out really nice ... I would go with the $5 for each one ... good luck with raising funds.

I would want no less than $5 a piece for them. Whether that would sell or not depends on the sort of people buying them. Are they just buying them because they like the look or is it because they want to help the cause? Maybe you could have a silent auction for church members that includes 5 bookmarks and start the bidding at $25. That way you are sure to get your $5 each, plus possibly more.

hope they sell well, because they are very pretty. Cann't help you with the price, but *4u

I agree with Shirl. Not sure how that would translate to English pounds, though.$US 6 converts to just over 3 pounds.Might be a bit steep though. Maybe 1 pound.

Dianne, these are lovely. Why don't you ask some of the church members - what they would pay for a bookmark to commerate the church? I would think that you should get $6 for them - only because of what they are - with the church on them - if you had to go lower - I wouldn't go less than $4.
