This is a pattern from Ribbonsmythe for Victorian letters. They are the most beautiful, in my opinion, ever. The story goes that Victoria Brown was inspired by a book from 1729 with a floral alphabet and came home to design this fabulous Victorian alphabet based on that early book.
I have a few more stitches to finish up on this and it will turn into a fabulous pillow for a lucky someone.
I have been busy looking over my wares and trying to decide which item to offer for the Holiday Bazaar Catalog at Make Mine Pink. Any ideas are welcome--the deadline is Tuesday at noon--yikes! Nothing like coming right down to the wire. Stay tuned for more information about the Holiday Bazaar. This is going to be like nothing you have seen on the internet before --this is huge I tell you, in the words of our fearless leader, Joyce Lucas, at Make Mine Pink. Gotta love her!
I put up a new product this week. Tangerine/Orange Spice Balls--these smell so good. It is a perfect kitchen fragrance, just be careful where you leave them. You will find them on my website under Herb and Posies Potpourri. I have had several people come in and take a bite out of one thinking it was a famous Mama Morello Meatball. The young men that come through my kitchen are like locusts at times. I had an adorable cupcake soap from Savon Marie that one of these chuckleheads tried to eat, guess that will teach him to ask first!
Have a wonderful week all, be back midweek with more news about the Bazaar.

Hi Pat,
Your ribbom embrodery is beautiful. I am a cross stitcher, and I used to see ribbon embrodery designs in my xstitch magazines. It always looked gorgeous but so difficult. You really have a talent.

OH MY GOSH! That is the most beautiful thing! I have always admired silk ribbon embroidery but have never attempted it. (it's a patience thing). I even bought a how to book once. Your work is exquisite!sp?
I am having a hard time deciding what to put in the Holiday Bazaar as well. Good luck!
