Silk Ribbon Embroidery

So I figured I’d try my hand at something new yesterday (I’m still looking for that craft addiction 12-step program!) – silk ribbon embroidery.  I’ve had the silk ribbon for about six months now!  I’m working on Pam’s block for the crazy quilt round robbin so I figured I jump in with both feet!  Here’s my little topiary for her block.

I didn’t have a pattern for this, it just grew into what I think looks like a topiary.  You can see the tatting that I attached to the right and I did the rick rack with beads on the top too.  I’m having so much fun with this round robbin – I’ve never touched crazy quilting before this and I’m having a blast learning new things!
