#18,19: Two Heraldic Napkins
A pair of napkins as a gift for our Baron and Baroness.
The hemstitching done with Gutermann linen thread and the devices in split stitch with one strand of Madeira silk. Worked on 40 count Newcastle linen.
This is the finest split stitch that I have done so far, and am now officially hooked on using one strand of silk! I love the sheen of the silk and the patterns it makes as it changes direction.
Learning Curve: Even tho Newcastle linen was the finest evenweave they had in the store, it was too coarse. Next time use a much finer non-even weave if necessary.
