One bonus is the same technique looks different on both sides. We dyed a lot of ribbon which we want to try and the last day we went to a swap meet and bought a lot of novelty ribbons to try.

Ribbon trims are my newest love...

And you have taken to it, like a duck takes to water Gerry. I love to see what you will do next. Such talent, especially teamed up with Susie Wolfe, who I have been following for a long time.
Good to see I'm not the only one who uses the arms of my sofa/chair as a pincushion and work pillow - lol! This opens up a whole new real of ribbon work on CQs - can't wait to try some when winter (and the winter projects) comes!
I love this post. I'm new to CQ, and also on a budget. I love those 3 photos, and would love to be able to work those seam treatments. I must try to get that book here in Australia.
I love your work Gerry. Have you posted about dyeing your ribbons?

Inspiration was just what I needed, have been lazy lately, thankyou

Yay, you're back :). And it looks like you had ever so much fun. My copy of the book arrived a while ago - even before the one I had ordered in from the library. But there are a couple of trims you have in your picture that I don't remember seeing in it. Right now I'm making some ribbon flowers from The Artful Ribbon but when I finish those I'm going to try some ribbon trims.
Looks like you girls were successful in creating some beautiful ribbons and had fun too!

The trims look just beautiful Gerry and thanks for the book recommendation.
Wonderful outcome you two!
They sure do add a
lot to the masterpiece your working on!
I didn't think I would like them as seam treatments but I am wrong they look great!
What fun! One of my teachers goes to Florida every winter with her sister in law and each year they tackle a new art form together. I'm jealous. I have the book but I would have really loved the company. Glad to hear you had such a good time! Looking forward to the next chapter!! xox Susan
How very special and wonderful to have someone to learn with. Ribbon work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your CQ journey...
The ribbon trims are coming out beautifully! Somewhere, I have a vintage book with a few ribbon trim instructions. I need to see if I can find it for you.
Oh, please keep posting photos of the trims you're doing! I have the book you mentioned first that has awful instructions. I thought I was just dumb! I tried one of the simple ones last night and found I could duplicate it best by just looking at the photo example and winging it. If you've found any Youtube videos or online help, I'd appreciate links.
Thanks for sharing about these ribbon trims, I'm going to try some on my next CQ, you make it look so fun, and beautiful!
