Learn from Helen and Mary Jo!

April 29, 2012 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

Check out this rockin announcement from Helen Gibb‘s newsletter, Ribbon Snips:

Reknowned fabric artist Mary Jo Hiney is coming to Colorado to team up with Helen to teach at our annual Summer Workshop this June, and we can’t wait for you to meet her.  Wahoo!  We are so excited! Helen and Mary Jo will be team teaching a variety of fabulous silk pincushions and ribbon flowers, including one of Helen’s beautiful half doll pincushions and MJ’s silk-covered sewing box. To find out more about this exciting event click here for additional information, tuition fees, and a registration form.

Looking for a supplier of Silk Ribbon? We love Etsy for finding hand dyed ribbons as well as imported European silk Embroidery Ribbons. You can see the listings here on Etsy.  Why use silk ribbons? While you can use other kinds of ribbon, it’s best to work with silk because It’s lightweight and very fluid and can easily be manipulated into stitches.
