 2009 TRM Titus & Eilis This set of napkins I wanted to do differently. Since this was Their second reign, since my starting the Royal Napkin Project (and I did not want to give Them another napkin with Their charge on them), I decided to use Their initials. I made Their initals outlined in simple double running stitches and added (my version) some simple strawberry leaves (since They will now be Duke and Duchess). The initials seemed to plain, IMHO, so I filled them in with cross stitch (mind you, cross stitch is NOT a blackwork fill-in stitch, but it is simple to do and I feel it looks good). The strawberry leaves I left empty, as I did not want to "over do" the blackwork effect.
