Who among us has not admired a lovely ribbon adorning a formal dress, embellishing a bunch of flowers, or enlivening a hairstyle? Fun and easy to learn, silk ribbon embroidery adapts simple, traditional stitches to obtain a soft, filmy, three-dimensional effect on all types of fabric, even those with the most closely knit weft. Now you can use those ribbons to create astonishingly beautiful photo albums, tablecloths, guest towels, recipe books, baby blankets, baptism cap, handbags--almost anything traditionally embroidered. Easy-to-follow projects designed for present-day lifestyles teach all you need to know about this age-old European technique. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
