I bought some cotton napkins around Christmas time, intending to embroider something on them, but so far have been afraid to try. My stitching skills aren't the greatest. I had a good time buying a bunch of pretty hankies several years ago at an antique shop in Ohio. Your work is always so pretty. Wishing you a great week.
