WIPW - Tossing the Salad

Work In Progress Wednesday.

Crazy for Crazy
I have been tossing in more ingredients into the Watermelon and Olive salad.

 Do you remember this ribbon from my stash photograph?
 It had the right colours, but I didn't like the stripes, so what to do?
Twist it, pin it, press it, and stitch it down!

I wanted some floral design and used the following stitches: Feather, Bullion Knot and Buttonholed Detached Chain (Lazy Daisy).

This is what the block looks at the moment:


Hopefully more progress next week.

    That's a great use of the ribbon. It looks a bit ordinary as a flat ribbon, but twisted into a spiral it looks far more interesting!

      Another advantage is that the bias twist makes it follow the curved seam easily.

    Love what you did with the ribbon. I am filing that aways for future use in my own CQ blocks.

      By twisting a ribbon you can use it on the bias, so it not only changes the looks of the pattern but the flexibility, too. I hope you find a use for it.

      Thank you.
      The ribbon was a bit fiddly at first, but I am happy with the result.

    Clever idea for the ribbon. It will make me look at ribbons differently now. You seam treatments are inspiring.I love the Bullion/Buttonhole flowers.

      It was by chance that I found the new look of the ribbon once it was twisted. I love it!

      It was not my intention at first, I saw the new look by chance, and love it!

    The ribbon does look better twisted and I like what you have done with the embroidery.

      The ribbon twisted my arm into twisting it! I had other plans for it, but then found how great it looks and decided ti keep it.
