RIBBON EMBROIDERY WITH NICOLA HULME

We had a lovely day on Saturday during a workshop with NICOLA HULME, silk ribbon embroidery was a new technique to all of us. We made lots of progress through the day learning how to make roses by weaving the ribbon under and over thread, ribbon stitch was useful to make leaves and calix's. We finished off our pieces with chain, French knots and bullions.
