I chose a French poem entitled “Pomme et poire” (Apple and pear) for this embroidery. I only had 4 napkins so I only used page 1 of the downloads below. Page 2 contains the last part of the poem.
I used stem stitch.

Pomme et poire – Luc Bérimont
Pomme et poire
Dans l’armoire
Fraise et noix
Dans le bois
Sucre et pain
Dans ma main
Plume et colle
Dans l’école
Et le faiseur de bêtises
Bien au chaud dans ma chemise.
Pomme et poire dans l’armoire
Fraise et noix dans le bois
Sucre et pain dans ma main
Plume et colle dans l’école
Et voilà!
These are lovely, thanks so much for sharing!
The napkins are beautiful. How is your new puppy doing?
They look great all together!

These are so lovely! What kind of stitching did you use?
Hi Desiree
I used stem stitch.
Teresa, These napkins are so very lovely. My three children go to a French Immersion Language School in San Diego California. These would make a wonderful teacher gift. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback. That’s a great teacher gift!
