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 >^;;^<

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.

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 >^;;^<

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.

You may find something here: 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.

I Googled 'ribbon embroidery free patterns' and there seemed to be lots.
Also on Images there were a lot of pretty pictures and sites.

"Silk" ribbon embroidery is gorgeous and big fun. However . . . lots of
that yummy ribbon bleeds and fades. I wouldn't bother even thinking about
it for a quilt that could be treasured and Cleaned somehow unless I had made
sure that it was going to play nice. It is okay for a pin cushion or needle
case but please do test it before using on a quilt. I'm sure. Polly

Being poor/cheap, I do 'silk' ribbon embroidery using the inexpensive ribbon on reels from WalMart. It may not be quite as beautiful as silk ribbon but it's sturdier and much more colorfast (never had any dyes run). It works for me!
