Napkin Rings, Pieces of Eight

And, I finally finished the napkin rings. I met with Bianca from Rittenhouse Needlepoint who showed me how to sew a backing onto a piece. There had actually been a trunk show for napkin rings right around the time I met with her. They provided several different examples of how to finish a napkin ring. Although they looked pretty, I just wanted something simple (no loop or tassel, etc,).

Then, I connected the ends.

I’m keeping these for myself!

So true. I was very pleased with the final product & can fully understand what I’m paying for when I do utilize a finisher’s service because in the long run it’s worth it in time and miscellaneous tools of the trade that I do not have at my finger tips. And, I prefer stitching to finishing.
