This ribbon lady is done in thread embroidery for the top, and the skirt and accents are done in silk ribbon. She is one of the patterns in my next book: Crazy Quilting Volume II - Working with Ribbon that is in the "writing stage" now.
Here is my hedge row of roses. I just could not stop myself! It IS busy, but looks great on the block and balances nicely with the other seams so far.
This darker rosebud seam anchors the lace pieces and adds some depth to the colors of pink throughout the block.
This little purple plum tree really is so cute! Since this tree (with different leaves) was on the cover of my first book (Embellishing Crazy Quilts workbook)...it has become a sort of "signature" for me...so I include it in a lot of works. I do try to change up the types of leaves however.
