- Hi Margaret,
I have been very busy trying to finish work for my city and guilds course I love the sewing but it's a thought thinking about the presentation! Anyway hope to get on with it later this week when I am still off on school holidays. This weekend my husband and I are off to the isle of Skye for a few days so hopefully will get some more inspiration from the lovely scottish scenery ! Mvairi will get round to adding some photos

Elaine Wilding said… Hi Margaret, Thank you for you encouraging words. Ribbon embroidery is very simple. It only uses very basic embroidery stitches. It is just the thread that you change. I use a lot of the 4mm silk ribbon when I stitch with it, It can be expensive but I bought mine at Amazon 20 colors 10 meters each spool for $42.99 on Amazon. The threads do come from the UK so you maybe able to find them cheaper then this. I just wanted to pass on this little bit of information about ribbon embroidery. Happy Stitching Hugs Elaine
