From Janey (Our Work Bench) on how to post pics:
"We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?
Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
And how to use an ipad to post pictures can be found at Uploading photos
Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post."

Otherwise, I’ll try to describe how it is constructed. (My napkins are about 20” with a 1-3/4” hem all around.) For the back, using two napkins, lay this hemmed part on top of each other and stitch down the back, neckline to hem resulting only one 1-3/4” strip down the back. Your fabric should measure about 38” x 20”.
For the shoulder seam: stitch one napkin (just the edge butting the two edges together, not overlapped as before) of the long edge leaving about 4” unstitched for the neck hole. Do the same from the other edge, again leaving a neck hole.
For the arm hole: leave an opening of 6 or 7”, butting the two edges together. Again, do not overlap, stitch to the bottom hem.
The front: the two fronts will eventually be lapped when buttoned. The right half will get 5 buttonholes with 5 buttons on the left half, all in the 1-3/4” hem. From the shoulder seam will you will fold a lapel causing a “v” above the buttons. Repeat on the opposite side.
I hope this makes sense. Question me if you need. And no, I have not made mine as yet. I just observed the illustrated photos at the site long enough to see how it was made.

Incidentally, the one photo shows the embroidery on my napkins.
