The napkins......embroidered by me on plain white cotton napkins
using different colors of variegated floss.
I have been wanting to use some
of the variegated floss I have had for so many years......but have always had a
hard time deciding what design to use it with. This butterfly pattern is perfect. It used much
of the different colors on each strand.
The dinner plate pattern is Butterfly Botanical by Pfaltzgraff
I have been wanting to make a set of napkins to go with this set of dishes for some time now.
The table runner is The Farmhouse by Rachel Ashwell.
I purchased it at Home Goods.
It has a beautiful zinnia print in muted colors.......perfect to
go with the variegated butterfly napkins.
The silverware is vintage Queen Bess II

I am hoping this finds your summer days full of lovely butterflies and flowers.

Your butterfly napkins are truly lovely and complement the table runner and dinner plates perfectly. Love the Queen Bess, too!
You do lovely embroideries and those napkins are precious. Everything is well coordinated. It just adds that special touch to your table setting.

You embroidered beautiful serviettes. What a wonderful idea of yours to work them for these plates. In addition, the beautiful runner and last but not least the grandiose cutlery.
Beauty at the table... Joy for the soul and spirit.
I wish you a wonderful time.

Oh my!!! I just love the embroidered napkins-how absolutely lovely! Your table looks gorgeous. I also love the butterfly plate.
First I saw a link to your Eggs in My Pocket, Needle in My Hand blog. Then I saw one of my favorite Bible verses under the header. Then I saw the link to your Yesteryear Embroideries blog. Then I admired your needlework. But the clincher was that fork! That's the silverware pattern my mother had for her company silver and I still have the small child's fork from it that was my very own.
What an amazing morning's journey.
What a beautiful blog. I love all of your embroideries.
