Gerry Krueger‘s technique for creating these silk-ribbon fuchsias approaches stumpwork in that she creates all the parts and then assembles them onto her work. Beautiful results! Find out more about how she does it at her Older Rose 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.
