Ribbon embroidery workshop

I have been thinking for a long time on whether to choose two smaller or one larger course at the Quilt 2008 exhibition. At the end I decided to choose a longer one, which was a ribbon embroidery course.

Szalaghímzés 2008


This half-day course was held by Martine House, who showed us the basic ribbon stitches during the workshop. As I remember, we were only 12 in this group and the three hours  just went away quickly. I have stitched the flowers you can see on the picture above. I have to tell you, I am so enthusiastic  about this embroidery technique.

At the beginning of this course Martina showed us several finished ribbon stitched materials so we could see what kind of things can be made with this technique.  My experience was that in spite of the fact that we all received the same package and materials all the finished embroidery became different at the end. The other advantage is that after stitching for approximately 3 hours we made  quite a big piece of finished stuff.

Please  tell me how  you like this type of stitching! Have you ever tried the ribbon embroidery? Are you interested in what kind of embroideries are able to be made with this stitching?
