I love silk ribbon embroidery. It is so beautiful. It is perfect for embellishing clothing, wall hangings, pillows, quilts, framed art and bookmarks.
I taught our Keepers of the Faith group how to do silk ribbon embroidery several years ago.
Here are a few how-to’s:
How to Thread Your Needle with Ribbon
Rosebud with Chain
French Knot Rose
Spiderweb Rose
Gathered Leaf
Fiber art is anything that includes stitching, weaving, quilting, sewing, rug making, crocheting, knitting, spinning, etc…
Each Monday we can share ideas, patterns, finished projects and ask questions about fiber arts in the comment section.
You can also link up to your blog post or photo account that is related to fiber arts, I just ask that you link back to the most current Fiber Arts Monday post. Just leave your post link in the comment section and tell us what it is.
So how ’bout it? Do you have a project you are working or want to work on? Let’s share some inspiration!

I’ve always wondered how to do silk embroidery. Thanks for the links!
I enjoy this link party every week so I can see what other people are doing. This week, I also linked up my almost-6-year-old daughter’s creation: knitted hats for her dolls. I’m quite proud of her!
I hope to be able to teach her knitting with needles in the future, too, but this is a great start for her age.

I got my older daughter a book on this! She thought it was a neat idea for embelishing things but had trouble with it being too tight and not being able to pull the needle through.
I also have a shower curtain that has a sort of antique look with flowers all over it in ribbon. Really neat and it is nice to think that if something came out, I could probably repair it!
Thanks for the videos. I’ll check em out after the month is over and my data usage is refreshed!
