Silk Ribbon Embroidery

  As a part of the Vintage Garden Collection I have designed a Journal  Cover staying in line with the Fabric Panels and Set of 4. Just love these sweet birds and always have been a fan  of Hydrangeas.  Using the smaller prints for Snippets or Tags.

My Latest Fabric Designs are in the form of an  Allover Print / Collage.  The option is there is  to use the whole panel or cut into sections  and use in smaller projects or Journaling.  Into Shabby Chic, there are two designs to choice from. Victorian Cherubs and Angels, or Everything coming up Roses with the Shabby Bliss Roses.  Daisies, Protea and Lavender, Vintage Garden, Boho Blue or French Fashion.  I have ideas for working with these myself, and hope  this can influence your Muse. 

  NEW RANGE OF FABRICS ARRIVING SOON I have changed my style a little from previous Designs. Thoughts being that the Allover Prints can be  used in  many ways as cut pieces for Textile Arts, Journaling, Scrapbooking, Slow Stitching etc.  Features in these Fabrics are numerous, and should be Inspiration for your Creativity. Some already have a Set of 4 Matching Prints that can be used for Quilting, Journal Covers, etc. Others will be added soon once completed.  Birds, Flowers, Fashion, Vintage, Gardens, Boho. Shabby Chic, Roses, Angels and Cherubs.  Stay Tuned will Post once the stocks are Loaded on my Etsy Store Or Follow me on Facebook or Pinterest.  Carol Daisy

Detached Chain Stitch No. 2 Satin - n - Cream  Detached Chain Flower spray  perfect for  any Bridal Accessories. Detached Chain Stitch  is executed in much the same  way as Lazy Daisy. It is best if you only use between 2 and  4 mm  ribbons in this stitch.  The wider ones are more difficult to shape. The material may be held in an Embroidery Hoop  or free in the hand.  Most of my students  have  found it easier to use the  hoop to begin with, leaving both hands free to work the ribbon. When using a hoop it is difficult to take the  needle  diagonally  across the fabric.  The fabric being taut your fingers will suffer, and I am sure you won't want to leave  blood stains on your work.  If doing this free hand take care that the fabric  is not gathering  as you stitch. When using the ribbon I personally prefer the  ribbon...

  Another Class Sampler, an option for  trying out your  newly learnt skills.  The base of this pillow is made from a selection  of   handkerchiefs,  some with special meaning  to myself.  The edgings and crochet or lace  edgings can also   be embellished  with  Embroidery Stitches. Take a piece of Pelon the size required for the  pillow allowing a  seam edge. Layer the hankies  over this cutting if necessary to  make into  one piece. Pin in position and use tacking  stitches  to  keep in position while you work.  This can be inserted in a hoop for the SRE  or free  stitch  in your hands for the Embroidery.  Adding the Embroidery Stitches first will make it  sit a little easier,  and along with the tacking stitches  will mean you have no pins  protruding to catch  the ribbon as you are creating flowers etc.  Also in class we...
