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!

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 pretty project. I pinned it to my embroidery board on Pinterest. I was curious after seeing this poem to know what it meant. I took it to Google Translate:
Apple and pear
In the cabinet
Strawberry and nuts
In the woods
Sugar and bread
In my hand
Pen and glue
In the school
And the maker of mischief
Warm in my shirt.
