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!

Those are very sweet….simple with a burst of color. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous! I love the addition of the hand stitching. I JUST finished a set of 14 of these from the same tutorial, but I used the blue/green/gray range from DS’s Hope Valley. I think I am in love – and you are right: aside from a little ironing, they are easy and quick.
I’ve always liked that tutorial – thanks for the reminder! Your embroidery looks great.
These are lovely and I’m sure anyone would love to receive them as a gift. I know I would!
Just beautiful! My SIL would love them…hmmmm.
these would be perfect for a friend’s bridal shower that i’m throwing next month… thanks!
What a great idea! I would love to make these for myself too! I will have to find some linen now.

Something natural, perhaps?! Love ‘em! Looking forward to Friday!
so lovely, especially with the extra hand stitching added to the corners. These will make a table look quite festive!
I’m working on a set of these purl bee napkins, too. I love the embroidered corners!
How charming! I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love a set of these! I know I would!
These turned out beautiful.
So pretty! (And I think I’m going to copy you!)
You did such a good job!
I love Linen at the moment, It looks fantastic with all the bright colours.
