Valentine Embroidered Table Napkin - Project Details

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.
