RIBBON EMBROIDERY

                                                                             Advantage of Silk Ribbon 
Embroidery is that it is not as time consuming as other forms of the 
other needlework.Silk Ribbon Embroidery uses a lot of the stitches 
found in traditional embroidery.


If you are using a fabric thats more loosely woven, then you'd find it 
easier to pull your ribbon through

Needles: two sizes 18(medium)

chenille for ribbons: crewel size 8 embroidery threads

here i have used just a piece of left over hessian /jute to make this twirled rose 

and i used lazy daisy stitches to make the leaves .

you could make a framed project and post it in your blog .

Recycled Card

                                I made this  simple Christmas card 
                         


                                  Once in three months we receive news letter 
from RBC .(DAILY BREAD ).I saved this picture in my box and
 now used it in this card .
The maroon card base is from my daughters old 
Exercise note book .by the end of term kids bring home 
bundle of them and the back and cover pages are always 
neat and clean and thick as well .i couldn't take a picture of 
the maroon ,it was cut and sleeping in my craft box for a year. 
                                
lavender one here is the other one i am gonna use in my  next craft ..
                       

                                       


     i 've used peel off stickers and borders and quilled holly
    and ivy.both the green and red papers are from magazines.

                                                                                  

                                                                                


                                                                             

QUILLED PHOTO FRAME

                                                                                 

                                                                                         

                        Made this simple Quilled frame yesterday .I like to use 
Hessian /jute in most of my projects .This jute piece is the one i have 
saved  for more than 6 years .My beloved dad used  a big gunny bag 
to pack a wet grinder we bought while returning to UK .
and its of sentimental value for me .as my dad is no more .
i have been using every piece  of it in my crafts .

                                                                                   
 using piece of iron on fabric to hessian would make it easy 
 to add it to cards or stitch so that it remains stiff .
 these birds were drawn and cut on a piece of 
 iron on fabric and stuck to hessian .and the Bible verse was 
 done with ,simple running stitch with embroidery thread.
 (i am not good with needle craft !!!!!! excuse me )

                                                                                       


Cheers !!!!! Have a great Day .
