I made Napkins.

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

I haven’t made something for the house in a while so when I had a change of plans this weekend and with the thrill of a newly sanded down table in the offering I thought I’d treat it and myself to some co-ordinating napkins. Super easy to make.

Right sides together, layer of wadding, stitch all the way around remembering to leave a gap to turn right sides round, iron down, topstitch all round and then quilt to your hearts content!

I decided to treat myself to these delicious gallettes too – so buttery and so yum. Here’s the recipe if you’re interested!

Delia Smith – Feta Cheese, Spinach & Pine Nut Gallettes

*If you are interested in the dimensions I’ve used here, I cut 2 pieces of co-ordinating fabric 18″ x 13″ with the wadding a little smaller.
