linen napkins

I love napkins as gifts, and these might be my favorites so far!

(And I should mention, that if anyone is looking for a last minute gift idea, this one might be a good one! Aside from a bit of ironing, they’re pretty quick to make, and always provide a great result!)

I used this tutorial from the Purl Bee. I had some of this linen left over from the backing of this quilt, and I went with backings/bindings in similar colors as those used in the Purl Bee tutorial (why mess with a good thing, right?!)

Before stitching up the edges, I decided to add a bit of hand stitching, inspired by this tutorial. I think it’s a fun little added touch!
