Hebe’s Cloth Napkins

... a surprise package arrives for me ...

On February 7th, I received a package in the mail, a Christmas gift from Hebe.

Inside were the napkins she sewed for Christmas.

I took them out and laid them one by one on the counter so I could get a good picture of them.

They came in beautiful pink tissue and a gold box.

... three different patterns, light fuschia, dark fuschia
and a pattern of mermaids, dolphins and octopii...

I thought to myself, I'm going to put that box beside my table and keep  my napkins in it so I can remember which ones are clean and which ones have to be thrown in the washed.

One thing I was really interested in was looking at the corners, because that's where sewing is the hardest – making nice corners.

Hebe has lots of aunts who like to sew: Aunt Ina, Aunt Bonnie, Aunt Mary, Aunt Catherine, Aunt Rebecca Johnson and she has two grandmothers who like to sew: Arta and Kathy.

People who like fabric and are joking for joy and inspfiation, look carefully at the projects.

... the corners are fabulous ...

I inspected the corners.

Well done Hebe! 

Hebe has captured both with colour and volume with her napkins to me, fun to touch and fun to look at.

I shouldn't say volume, but quantity.  Twelve of them.

These are so beautiful Hebe I'm so happy to have them.

Hebe is on the Honour Role

Thanks for a wonderful gift, and I hope you don't mind that I put them up on the family blog so everyone can see them.
