So, I’m working on creating new videos when the muse strikes and the planets align.
But then I have to remember to post them! LOL.
I made this video while stitching the Hare and the Crow by Brenda Stofft to show how I handled working Japanese Ribbon Stitch for a large curvy leaf.
And it wasn’t until just the other day that I remembered I forgot to share it with you.
And if then technology wasn’t behaving. Full moon you know. It has taken a full day of coddling to get this video to post. Not sure why, but it did. Finally it’s here.
So here you go, how to make a tall curvy leaf with 7mm ribbon!
Ribbon really is almost as fun as beads, she says with a wink and a giggle.

P.S. We will resume our regularly scheduled programming in a day or two with pictures and pretties from the Holiday Owls our newest mystery class.

December 5, 2017 at 8:15 pmWhat a great video Ruth, thanks for sharing! So much easier to understand when watching, rather than reading. Esp. for this old brain. 🙂 Question: what size needle do you use for that size ribbon?
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge, it's so appreciated!

December 5, 2017 at 9:39 pmGlad you like the video. I'm learning so bare with me.
As to needle sizes, don't laugh. I'm not a rule follower. If the thread goes in the needle and the needle goes in the canvas I am happy. I grab whatever is handy, usually a 22 or 24. Technically a chenille needle would punch a hole nicer but…. I'm too in the moment I want to try the idea, not look for needles.
