Beginners as well as advanced embroiderers will find the Silk Ribbon Embroidery Bible outstanding: it covers all details needed to work with ribbon embellishments, from instructions on over sixty ribbon embroidery stitches and patterns for motifs to color illustrations of each completed project, pattern guides and order of work charts, fabric and thread details, and more. A 'must' for any who would work silk ribbon embroidery projects successfully.

This review is from: Silk Ribbon Embroidery Bible: The Essential Illustrated Reference to Designs and Techniques (Spiral-bound)

This is an essential reference for Victorian Crazy Quilters as well as silk ribbon embroidery enthusiasts. The instructions are clearly written with excellent illustrations of the results with different widths of silk ribbon. There are wonderful projects that can be done by anyone from the beginner to the experienced embroiderer. I recommend this book to all new members of my Quilting Bee.
