When I start an embellishment it doesn’t mean that I know what the finished embellishment will look like, often I have no idea…
I purhased this ‘Ooh La La’ ribbon (1/2 inch wide) in the Vivian Westwood exhibition shop at the Victoria Albert Museum when I was in London in 2004…It is the right colour, I like the words, It would cover a small glitch in the piecing under the photo and I stitched it in place and that might have been that except that I didn’t like how the end looked…
…Maybe a few Silk Ribbon Roses, and I will need a few on the other corner to balance them…
…Needs some smaller roses, some the same but with only 1/2 inch of ribbon gathered and some Colonial knots in a lighter colour pink…
…That’s better now it just needs some little green straight stitch leaves…
  
…I thought with the leaves I was finished…but when I looked at it in relation to the whole block it looked cramped above the seam…what to do…add more roses so that they crossed the seam putting the seam into the background.
