Our first task was the basic stitches.
Then we moved on to the flowers.
I love the look of ribbon flowers, but my technique could use a lot of work! I have a hard time pulling the ribbon through the fabric, even when I make a hole with a large needle before hand. I also waste a lot of ribbon even though I am using the recommended 18" lengths of ribbon. The ribbon wears with every pass through the fabric and gets limp so that the stitches don't hold their shapes well. I spend a lot of time fluffing and straightening the ribbon. I am trying to be patient with myself because I know it will get easier as I get more practice.

I think your flowers look really nice! I've always wanted to learn ribbon embroidery.
Your flowers turned out really well. I think they look pretty. I've done a bit of ribbon embroidery so I know how hard it can be to pull it through fabric.
Thanks so much for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party and for the link back. Aloha hugs!
