A (late) Housewarming Gift

I took some boring, yellow cloth napkins (goodwill) and gave them new life with some scrap fabric and embroidery.  I'm just an amateur embroiderer, but it does seem like such a nice thing to do this time of year.
I just used fabric I had previously found at Goodwill or scraps from mom's stash (!) and I had the embroidery floss from my sister. 
The reason the pictures are so dark is that I forgot to take pictures until I was headed out to the post office to ship these to my sweet friend.  The kids were already in the car waiting and I cleared a spot off the dining room table, snapped a few pictures and ran out to the car.  So, I apologize.

    Yes, and they are so beautiful, that it took me until last week to use them!! I was afraid of getting them dirty. :) I made a brunch for my friend on her birthday, and then I carefully washed them and dried them... and they were, of course, fine. So now I will use them every time I have someone over. (I will not let my boys use them, though. Not going that far.) Thanks, Jen!!
