First, the Cute. This is a set of cloth napkins I did for one of my best friends and her family. My kids love having their name on something so I figured hers do too and who doesn’t love porcupines?
And now the Creepy. One doesn’t often think of embroidery as something that could be disturbing and I admit, the following is a little weird, but it also makes me laugh. This is a set of cloth napkins I embroidered for my brother and his wife. It should be noted that they are both horror writers and movie makers so this is nothing for them.
I got all the patterns from Sublime Stitching – which is a great site to order fun and funky embroidery patterns. I have a bunch and love them – everything from cute to creepy. I don’t embroider a lot but these types of things are perfect for me because they go so quickly. I’m very into instant gratification these days!
Whoa I love the creepy ones. That is so cool!!!
The brain and the lungs and the heart are awesome. The syringe heading toward the eyeball makes me lose my appetite. Or maybe that’s the idea- serve up a nice yummy meal, and give the creepy napkin to whomever you expect to eat the most…
These are awesome! Any chance I could borrow a couple some time? I’d like to swap them out with our normal ones and see if Denise notices…
Maybe it’s a family connection, but the syringe/eyeball combination platter doesn’t make me hungry.
We love these! Abby loves that she has her own special napkin with her name on it!
The creepy ones look pretty cool too!
Doug and I are cracking up at the horror napkins!
How clever to personalize and update an “ole-timey” craft as embroidery by stitching horror and animal characters on napkins.
And a green touch using cloth napkins as your fabric.
This should be a very stickey idea….(“The Tipping Point”)
