This is one of my favorite craft books.When looking for a new idea I always find myself skimming through this book for inspiration.The majority of the designs are flowers but each one is so different and beautiful no one would guess they were made from ribbon! The ideas in this book cover a wide variety of styles from formal to casual.Each
project is layed out in easy to understand directions and diagrams with easy to see close ups of the ribbon as each project is made.It also gives you lots of ideas and ways to use each technique.
The techniques shown in this book are:
Weaving (There are 5 different ones shown)
Braiding (There are also 5 different braids shown,I used one while making a mum for homecoming.)
Pleating (5 of these as well.There are some amazing pleats shown here not just plain! You could make superb quality trims!)
Gathering and Smocking (4 of these shown but with so many different variations!)
Ribbon Flowers (I didn't count these techniques there are so many!) but a list of the flowers are:
forget-me-nots
camellia
buttercups
apple blossoms/wild roses
zinnia
chrysanthemum/aster
dahlia
dianthus
coneflower
daisy
black-eyed-susan
coreopsis
cosmos
lilly
several different roses
several different leaves
19 different embroidery stitches
It also gives several different ideas for flower centers
Then there are 18 detailed projects to put what you learned to use,they include:
boudoir ensemble
braided ribbon clothing detail
woven ribbon and lattice trimmed garments
straw handbag and beret
spectacular straw hats
ribbon hair accessories
flowers sampler
ribbon flower shadow box
ribbon flower wreath

ribbon embroidery on wire mesh
grape cluster wine bag and napkin ring

As you can see there is LOTS of information in this book and can be applied in any project you make! Highly recommended,I would buy again and again!
