Hi all, here is the finished Napkin ring with extra bow attached. I think I might glue on a little crystal once they are all done. I only have 2 more extra bows to do and will do them tomorrow when Ophelie is here.


I am very pleased with these ones. They are from Louisa Meyer designs The Tea Party set.

Thanks for putting up with all my problems with these napkin rings over the past week. Love and blessings Chris

These turned out just beautiful! I am sure that everyone will be thrilled with your table, food and gifts! You do sure pretty work and I am just guessing but I bet all of your friends are very excited when they get an invitation from you! Your table is always a treasure to talk about for a long time afterwards! I am sure your luncheon will be just as great as the others if not better! All of us here at Cute look forward to getting a look at the tables and the gifts. You would be just perfect to have your own Bed and Breakfast Inn! People would come from all around just to see if you would live up to your reputation! Your decorations are always just perfect!

I normally am not a quitter and I didn't want those other ones to get the better of me. In the end I had to give up - they just weren't working the way I wanted them to. This design worked out so well. Love Chris

Chris these beautiful rings have turned out GREAT. Just got off the phone from Meg. Said you were coming to her place to put crystals on. Enjoy your day together, Pauline ( Nonna57)

Thanks Pauline, I had already done them at home here. So instead, I got to help clear a space downstairs so Meg can finally get to one of her many sewing machines! Hopefully Ray can put the old Singer back together and she will be able to store more things. Love Chris

Hi Chris
These look lovely!
I noticed in the set that there were 2 FSL napkin ring designs - one is a FSL napkin base and one is FSL napkin ring. and then the extra bow.
Did you use all three or just the FSL napkin ring and extra bow?

No, I've only used the napkin ring and the extra bow. I think the other set is for applique - I notice that one of the sets is made on Organza. Love Chris

I have taken the picture from the back of the ring so you can see the wonderful way it connects and also to get a perspective of the extra bow on the front. It looks great. Now I have to find a really nice Christmas napkin to put in it. I have already made the cloth ones, but I want them to go on the side plates. If I roll them up you won't see the gorgeous designs I've sewn on them. Love Chris

The link below gives you the Napkins I made.
