<p>Another day, another custom piece. You&#8217;ve probably heard already, but I&#8217;m currently offering an extreme discount on custom embroidery &#8211; I&#8217;ll design and stitch anything that can fit in a 6&#8243; hoop for you for only $20. That&#8217;s right! $20! I&#8217;ve only got four spots left, so if you&#8217;re interested let me know here in the comments or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/thepsychodelicate?ref=pr_shop">over on etsy</a> asap.<br />
<a title="IMG_3989 by mel.sundquist, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mel-sundquist/6790900253/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7150/6790900253_fe3573889b.jpg" alt="IMG_3989" width="500" height="375" /></a><br />
I really enjoyed making this lovely thing for my friend <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/natalieplus">Natalie</a>. It was stitched on a lovely vintage napkin with cutwork in the top right corner, using hand-dyed cotton floss. Stitches used were satin stitch, backstitch, split stitch, and a few one-loop french knots. Pretty simple.</p>
<p><a title="IMG_3982 by mel.sundquist, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mel-sundquist/6790904459/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6790904459_f887d3ec12.jpg" alt="IMG_3982" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><a title="IMG_3984 by mel.sundquist, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mel-sundquist/6790903589/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7003/6790903589_3aa3f55b86.jpg" alt="IMG_3984" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>I thought the napkin itself was really lovely, so I kept it intact, tucking the excess fabric in the back, so Natalie can choose how she&#8217;d prefer to display it. I just used a modified version of <a href="http://hell2breakfast.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/325/">this tutorial</a> to do it.</p>
