Napkins

Napkins

 I  needed more napkins and found a cute pattern off the internet ( link below).   I made them for the seasons like Valentines for February and St Patricks for March, etc. I like flowers so for some months I just used flower patterns with a solid backing to match

Coordinating fabrics from Jo-Ann and the pattern idea  was from the internet
