I love all things Vera, mid-century designs by Vera Neumann, the iconic American designer. Some people collect her scarves, but I have a weakness for her napkins. If you love her too, check out this website with many images of her fresh and modern designs.
I was so happy to run across this bundle of Vera napkins recently at the Goodwill. I love the big orange flowers.
I put them on my design wall with a set of brown Vera napkins I already had. Wouldn't this be a nice quilted table cover or small quilt? On second thought, I decided to just use the napkins as they were intended. It doesn't look like any of the orange ones have ever been used, and I think they'll look nice with my blue and white dishes.
This pair of napkins in my collection, on the other hand, are fraying, and I only have two. I think they'll be a nice table runner interspersed with some small pieced blocks. These will go into my future projects list.

I use my Vera napkins & they look like it! Ha! Ha!
I can sure see why you like this designer; those napkins are beautiful and almost too pretty to use!
