I'm a big admirer of cloth napkins. Not only are they very earth-friendly, but I feel they add a bit of embellishment to a family table.
I embroidered these for a Christmas gift (I'm not telling for who! Could it be you? Who knows!).
I just used some basic cotton dinner napkins, which I found to be very easy to stitch on. They were substantial enough that I did not need to use any stabilizer and they were able to accommodate the full strand of embroidery thread (I really hate splitting embroidery thread).
I found this pattern, once again from the fabulous Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching, to be really fun to stitch. I'm delighted with how these turned out and I can't wait to give them this Christmas!

So adorable! How do you do it? You're amazing!
I would love to say that I have this amazing talent or even that I made a deal with the devil (though I did make a rather enticing bargain with some devils food cake. oh yeah.)
But seriously...if you can trace, you can stitch! It's that easy! The hardest part is deciding I want to stitch and what colors I want to use, although I can still decide on that faster than I can pick a place for lunch.
I will wear you down, lady. You will stitch with me some day!!
