Maureen of Maureen’s Vintage Acquisitions embellished this gorgeous crazy-quilt block as part of a round robin. The silk-ribbon wreath just stuns me. How I wish she’d give us a tutorial showing how it was done. Maybe if we all comment requesting a tute? Go to Maureen’s blog post.

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.
