Ribbons for Mother's Day : :

Diamond Strinsg Pillow with Ribbons!

Last night I added the binding to a new Diamond Strings pillow! It's that same wonderful size as the first one, but this time I used Bonnie Christine's beautiful Winged fabric collection with the addition of her gorgeous Winged Renaissance Ribbons. Butterflies & Flowers, yes please!

Winged Supplies

I love making these style of quilt blocks, whether I'm making just a few for pillows like this one or many more for a quilt. They're just so much fun and quick to make, I don't think I'll ever be sick of them!

The added ribbons makes this pillow seem extra special. The pretty color palette combined with these gorgeous embroidered, jacquard decorative ribbons adds such a fancy, beautiful layer of detail. So perfect for Mother's Day gift-giving, my plan from the very beginning!

Winged Renaissance Ribbons!

The back is finished in one of my very favorite Winged prints, quilted with an aqua blue Aurifil 50wt, and bound for a nice, neat finish!

After snapping a few photos this morning out on our porch swing, I think this Mama needs one of her very own!

Wishing all of you Mamas the most wonderful of days with those you love!   ♡ Maureen

With Ribbons : :

A new AMH Herringbone!

Yesterday I started a second Herringbone Quilt, this time using just the two Anna Maria Horner collections that didn't arrive in time to be included in my first one, Dowry and True colors! New to this quilt are also these Design Roll precuts that are making this super quick quilt make even quicker!
 
AMH Happiness!

I'm so in love with this quilt already! It was just about midnight last night when I decided that Dowry, combined with True Colors, is my favorite AMH collection to date. A revisit to her Dowry introduction post this morning confirmed that. Yes, this collection is truly a gift to us quilters!

As enthused as I am just to be finally sewing with Anna's Dowry fabrics, I'm extra excited that for this quilt I'll be adding in a layer of her richly colored Dowry jacquard ribbons from Renaissance Ribbons!

I have a full jar of Aurifil waiting to be matched up for ribbon edge-stitching!

Aurifil jar -- better than candy!

I can't wait to add them to my quilt!

Dowry Ribbon love!

How about you, have you used ribbon for added detail and texture to any of your quilts or sewing projects?
