Ribbon Roses



I can't believe I made this with my own hands. Silk ribbon is magic. The stitches are very simple and the results are impressive.

















I used Sharon's spider web rose (day 26) and added straight stitches to the outside of the largest one. The leaves are fly stitch with a straight stitch at the top. Everything is so simple.

I also found this book on my shelf, which has some good floral patterns.
