Even though we are having beautiful warm weather right now, I am busily stitching up a huge set of autumn napkins!
I plan on using all the autumn colors like orange, red, yellow, and brown. I love these two shades of orange. The brightest, which is outlining this leaf is the almost neon-bright dmc#608 "bright orange":
I am going to use a running stitch to decorate the hems.
Here are orange, green and yellow:
Here are orange, green and yellow: I am really liking the way they are turning out!

ReplyDeleteI just found you blog a couple of days ago and started following. Wanted to let you know, I really enjoy it.
Hi Bethany! Thank you - and welcome! I'm so glad you like the blog!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I love that yellow! Where do you get your napkins and dishtowels from?
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!...These towels are great!...I really like the running stitch at the bottom and french knots always give such a nice effect!...Did you use your color wheel for these?...Blessings...Annie
ReplyDeleteLove them! You are ahead of the game for sure :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you all!
ReplyDeleteLibby - I am making these napkins - i am using a medium weight cotton fabric. I usually make my distowels out of cotton fabric too - at least the "tea towel" ones that are just for looks - not really for using :)
Annie - No I didn't use the color wheel - I probably should have - I had such a hard time trying to decide which color combination to use for the acorn!
You made the napkins??? Girl, you rock!!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE the colors you picked!... :) ...Very brave making your own napkins!...I have trouble keeping the hems straight!... :/
