My daughter has made several napkins for me out of a tiny green gingham check, but I have to use the bigger squares for these old eyes :-)Choate Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497073350295708213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-2942512082765631312013-01-29T15:21:41.246-06:002013-01-29T15:21:41.246-06:00Ha ha, great minds think alike!

Definitely try plain floss. I used all six strands on this, although with thinner cotton gingham, less strands may be a better choice.Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919005875185335727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-86711570635906114922013-01-28T08:45:06.783-06:002013-01-28T08:45:06.783-06:00wonderful idea!

I tried with pearl cotton but wasn't happy with the look. I used a pink gingham with the intent of making placemats for Valentine's Day. Hmm, maybe I try it again with plain floss?<br /><br />MaureenMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586169655568045037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-32239181201405101392013-01-28T06:43:25.142-06:002013-01-28T06:43:25.142-06:00I'm Sara, an Italian blogger.
