Description

The sample is comprised of 9 squares full of extraordinary examples of silk ribbon embroidery. Click on the image for a full page image of a larger image, then click on each square for a larger image still.

Embroidery knowledge is a must for this class. Seven stitches are a prerequisite for the twenty or more stitches that will be needed to complete the wall hanging: lazy daisy, French knot, stem stitch, straight stitch, pistil stitch, feather stitch, buttonhole stitch.

All the components and the designs can be adapted to a current crazy pieced or quilted project that you are working on. See the Gallery section for an image of a pillow that I made using all of the stitches.

The Prerequisite Projects for this class are Petals & Posies 1 , Renaissance of Ribbon Embroidery.
