Doily with Rose Redwork Embroidery

We embroidered two designs from the Rose Border and Corner Redwork Set on a blank linen napkin (19"x 19") from the website Embroider This (https://www.embroiderthis.com/hemsquartop.html)

To embroider close to the finished hem, we basted pieces of muslin to the edges. This trick makes it easier to hoop the napkin.

White and blue matches traditional porcelain decorations, giving this doily a charming, classic look.
