I should have bought yardage for napkins but it's easier to use up what's lying around... when there's enough.

I enjoy using the old linens/napkins of my maternal Grandmother. I came across them in a box several years ago and I'm so glad I started using them instead of keeping them in a box. I need to get some of my fabrics just sitting there and make some napkins as gifts.
