Ribbon and Paint Embroideries

Capture the beauty of wildflowers, pansies, roses, and other garden treasures in beautiful ribbon, and then add color and dimension with paint. Fifteen projects include floral samplers and other frameable pieces, along with small accessories such as pincushions and a glasses case. Enhance many of the designs, such as Sweet Peas in a Blue and White Pot with a breathtaking 3-D effect: glue half a flowerpot onto the canvas. You can either buy the pot or follow the instructions for making one out of clay. A stitch glossary helps novices get started, and because the projects are small in scale they're perfect for the busy crafter.
