?? for Crazy Quilters Ribbon embroidery
Hi Guys,
I have gotten my niece hooked on silk ribbon embroidery and she has finished all of the stuff I sent her (she's in TX and I am in GA). anyway, she e-mailed me and asked me if I knew of any sites online that have free ribbon embroidery designs she can copy. I don't have a clue and thought some of you crazy quilters might know of some stuff online. Any and all info will be greatly appreciated. This young woman has been quite ill and in and out of hospital for a long time. I won a bunch of embroidery stuff on eBay and had it sent to her in the hopes that the learning a new creative hobby would be helpful. She LOVES silk ribbon embroidery and has finished all of the things I had sent to her :-). She e-mailed me and specifically asked for any designs that might be available online. I have asked over at RCTn but thought the crazy quilters might also have some sites they could recommend. Thanks & CiaoMeow ^;;^ .. PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs! |

I don't use patterns. I just start embroidering and stop when it looks done.
She could go to the library and get a book or two. -- LN in NH a crazy quilter * hand quilter * & hand appliquér all in all --- a very slow quilter.... So send quilts! http://photos.yahoo.com/lns_obsessed "Tia Mary-remove nekoluvr to reply " wrote in message ...

I'm the same and if I was there instead of here, I would help her learn how :-). She has no way to get to the library unless my DSis takes her and that's hard to do with the hours DSis works and the hours the niece is awake -- she's a night owl. I will e-mail her and tell her to check out the library -- there might be one neaby but I'm not sure. I never think of the library -- bad me!!! thanks for reminding me :-)). ciaoMeow ^;;^ ..

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail.... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn... that was fun!" |

I got most of my SRE books from www.hamiltonbook.com. They were only about
$3 a piece, so I felt I couldn't go wrong. If she prints out her order form and mails a check, it is only $3 for shipping no matter how many books you order. -- LN in NH a crazy quilter * hand quilter * & hand appliquér all in all --- a very slow quilter....

You may find something he http://www.cqmag.com/ This is a free online
magazine that has various projects related to crazy quilting and SRE. A new issue comes out every month, and you can check the archives for previous issues. The woman that started this site also hand dyes ribbon, silk floss, and various types of silk threads. I love the silk perle, it's really soft and easy to work with. Anyhoo, she sells at wholesale prices to the public. 4mm ribbon is only 25 cents a yard!!! Her site is http://www.hand-dyedfibers.com/ Vikkie also has a Silk Ribbon Tutorial link on her home page. It's very good and worth checking out. NAYY, but I do order from her quite a bit. Postage has never been more than $1.00 and her service is fast. Also, keep in mind that silk doesn't always scan well. Verdigris, a beautiful green color, looks brown on my monitor. The colors will be much nicer in person. -- Lisa Caryl http://www.picturetrails.com/quiltygurl "Tia Mary-remove nekoluvr to reply " wrote in message ...
