We enjoy using embroidered tablecloths and cloth napkins in our everyday life at meal times.
I decided I would like to make my own napkin ring but it has been a long time in the making. Today I used it for the first time.

I did 2 x stem stitch irregular lines, then I added silk ribbon leaf stitch using 4mm green silk ribbon.
Finally I added french knot flowers using variegated rayon thread.

tube by adding another piece of quilters muslin and stitching down both sides of the block and then turning the item out to hide the raw edges.
I cut a piece of timtex slightly smaller than the block and slid this in behind the embroidered block.
The timtex was to give the napkin ring some firmness.

Very nice. I think I will come to lake Tahoe for dinner or a nice lunch. Really though it is very pretty and they would be a nice gift if you did a set of them.
