Ribbon embroidery is used on crazy quilts, showcasing beautiful stitches along the seams of each patch, to embellish clothing, for framed artwork, on sachets, and various other fabric items such as pillowcases and towels. Ribbon embroidery is embroidery performed with ribbon rather than yarn. Ribbon Embroidery is another very old art form. Ribbon embroidery is simply done with different widths of ribbons, rather than embroidery floss.

Shore Wreath

shore wreathWe frequently visit Cape Cod during the summer, and a visit there was the inspiration for this shore wreath. It was simple and inexpensive to make.

I used a twig wreath as a base for my shore wreath.
Yard sales are a great place to find them. I have found some that were decorated. I just carefully remove the decorations and give them a good cleaning before reusing them.

The shells were collected on a Cape Cod beach, so they were free. I wasn't able to find any starfish on the beach, so I bought a small bag of them at the Christmas Tree Shop for under $2.00.
