i made this baby blanket for my new born baby. the design is simple because i intend to use this as blanket and also as day time mattress (toto).

(above) i use running rose stitch to make small roses. straight stitch for the leaves and fish bone stitch for the larger more broader leaves.

for the roses i use web rose method. it does give a softer look on the petals doesn’t it? (comparing to folded rose method)

this is tissue cover with roses

Ribbon embroidery is embroidery performed with ribbon rather than standard six-thread string.  silk ribbon or a silk/organza blend ribbon are commonly used for this type of embroidery. There are many different styles of ribbon embroidery, such as woven rose, French knot, feather stich, fly stich, fly stich fern, couching stich, lazy daisy, looped petal flower, Japanese ribbon stich, stem stich rose, split stich, and straight stich. Those are usually taught to beginners who are just learning silk ribbon embroidery. Ribbon embroidery is most commonly used to create floral motifs. It’s said to have a certain romantic and antique quality.

this is my on going ribbon embroidery project for my baby.

i’ve made a design of lavender flower using french knot for the flower and straight stitch for the leaves.
