Baptism Napkins

I made these for a triple baptism that is occuring at our church tomorrow. I've made one for every baptized child since the beginning of 2007 (plus a few before that, including my grand-daughter, Alora's). I offered to take over this project when the woman who did this previous passed away. Joy was a sweet lady with 10 kids, and 20+ grandchildren.

The cloths are 11" square, made on white 11 ct. Aida cloth, using my own shell design. I've altered this design several times over the last 18 months. I now think I have it the way I want it. In the past I've also done the stitching on the cloths in pastel colors.
