I don't know how many of you ladies have done any hand embroidery, but I did this with ribbon embroidery after I printed the background out on fabric using my printer(yeah...what else would I use!)Sorry about that last remark--- I am going loopy.My computer is driving me nuts!!!

This is so beautiful I have never learned to do that don't think I would have time .

Very Beautiful I have done Ribbon Embroidery. It realy give you a feeling of accomplishment when you make a flower. I enjoy it. Speaking of flowers here is another one for you.

BEAUTIFUL ;)

wow
I looked at doing ribbon embroidery about 10 years ago I fell in love with it, but due to the busness I was in at he time I never had time to do it

My daughter does ribbon embroidery & I love it when she makes me something. This is gorgous *4U

This is beautiful.

Very beautiful. Wonder how many hours went into this one? Great job....you are very talented.

A beautiful piece of art, all those tiny little flowers, you sure have patience (no wonder you are going loopy!!)LOL...*4U

Ricky, this is amazing!!!! I love the colors and depth. You did a fabulous job.

Wow! Alot of work in this beautiful piece! Something I'd like to try....

Beautiful!! Another * for your garden. I have never tried ribbon embroidery but my mom did alot of this type type of work. Sorry to say we lost mom in '94. I wonder what she would think about the machine embroidery we do now. I am sure she would be just as addicted to as the rest of us.

Great Job. Were you able to print to the fabric directly, or did you print to specialty paper and iron on? With a bouquet like that you don't need any more flowers but I will give you all I can anyway. Flowers for everyone after all it is Memorial Day and we should be thinking of others:o)

Thank you.I printed it directly on fabric.You need either special prepared fabric which can be bought as A4size in packs of 5 sheets, or you can treat it yourself with Bubble Je2000 which, of course, works out cheaper.And you need a bubble jet printer. It can't be done on a laser printer.You also need freezer paper cut to A4 or A8 which you iron on to the back of your prepared fabric. It is very easy to prepare and the instructions on the bottle of bubble jet are very easy to follow.
Does this answer your question?Any more- just ask.

OOOOPS!!That's Bubble Jet 2000

Very pretty. I haven't done ribbon embroidery in years.

Very clever Very nice :) *

I love it. You did a lovely job and must have patience for that. *4U ><>

Beautiful - don't know if i would have the patience

Lovely work, I wish I knew hand embroidery, definitely a masterpiece.

This is a beautiful piece of work - I know it took hours of work to do all that hand embroidery. I have tried ribbon embroidery and enjoy it, but it is very time-consuming. Well done to you. *4U

Wonderful workmanship...

My oh my .. that is beautiful and I personally would definitely frame it as a piece of art work. You did an exquisite job ... ****4u

This is quite lovely.;)

this is beautiful, and good handwork too

mpo, exsquisite workmanship... charming! I've hand embroidered and enjoyed the ribbon embroidery results very much even though time consuming. Haven't done any for a while...still learning the machine embroidery. A flower for U!

Breath taking, this is beautiful flower for you

Verry nice i lived in a house like that when i was a child the verander went across the front and down one side and my motherinlaw lives in one exactly the same colour even the trim looks the same but she doesn't have as many beautiful flowers as that close though. * for you

this is great , i do a lot of hand emb too , i love brazilian 3d emb , ribbon work is great too and the best is stumpwork , it is just too time consuming , i am taking a class to do that on the machine.flower to u

mpo, I don't do hand embrodiery, well nothing like this - but I would be happy to learn - what time it the next class? Wonderful work. I only have one flower for your work, here. *4U
