I got a little tired of being an assembly line for the kid’s christmas gifts and making the same thing over and over. I needed to do something different to keep me going. I have been experimenting with ribbon embroidery. It is really the ultra simple version and I actually like the way the satin ribbon looks better than the silk ribbon. I found some beginner stitches from Threads magazine online.

I thought I would try working with something small so I made a few potholders. I am not really very happy with the final outcome. I think I need to do a little more experimenting, but I am not sure it is worth the work just for a few potholders. So maybe I will have to use a similar design and create some pillows instead.
