This Valentine table napkin is made from two motifs from the Be Mine Valentine embroidery set.
I combined the cupid's arrow heart with the XO text:
and transferred them to a white cotton table napkin using a water soluble marking pen:
I stitched everything in red cotton floss, DMC #349.
The text and the arrow shaft are all done with Back Stitch. The arrow point is Satin Stitch. The heart is filled with French Knots.
Beautiful finish. Those french knots are incredible.
