Slow stitch ribbon embroidery spring bloom Roxy’s journal of Stitchery

Our Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery Field Notes prompt for this two weeks is Spring bloom or Spring blossom. #Roxysjournalofstitchery
I’ve chose the blossom of the China Flat Peach or Peche Plate for this slow stitch or slow stitching piece.
In this video I share a tutorial for how I add simple ribbon embroidery and slow stitch detail to embellish my piece and hand stitch it into a cohesive whole.
In the previous video I shared a tutorial of how you can choose and collage different fabrics for a slow stitch border, and then add embellishment on the form of vintage laces, embroidered pieces, ribbons, collars and beaded pieces:

With many thanks to Sarah ‪@roxycreationsbysarah‬ ​⁠ and Rachel ‪@roxycreations679‬ ​⁠ who put so much into coming up with and running this great free collaborations. It is an honour to be part of such a lovely community of slow stitchers.

Cheers,
Christine

I’ve not tried ribbon embroidery so that’s on my list now. Lol. My list keeps growing ❤😂

Thank you for your lovely video, such a relaxing watch, I played on the TV was a very fun watch.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you Christine for your video and company. This piece is so pretty. The ribbons are gorgeous. I hope you,Alex and Travis have a lovely holiday and a well deserved rest. I am so excited I bought some cotton remnants from a lady who has given up quilting due to arthritis. They are beautiful (I finally have stash !!) and in conversation I mentioned that I embroider and she kindly sent me loads of white linen pieces from herself and her mother's collection . She felt they would be put to good use. People are so kind. Never thought I would ever say ,I have stash and need fabric storage 😂😂

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Awww I am so happy you got some lovely fabrics and extra linens. Speaking from experience here: stashes rapidly start multiplying 😆 have fun foraging and stitching 💛 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you dear Kim - hope you’re continuing to recover xx

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

@createandcraftwithchristine unfortunately had a setback but started new regimen today that's hopefully going to work.

What a gorgeous piece, love the little rose buds at the top and the ribbon embroidery - I always forget to add ribbon embroidery 😊💛🌼

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Sally - I tend to forget ribbon embroidery too - I have a whole book with different ribbon embroidery flowers 🤗

[@cathiespalding2083]

Thanks Denny 💙🧵🪡

That is such a lovely piece! I love those cute ribbon petals. Never tried those yet, but will try those next weeks. Dog fur everywhere is just so normal 😅. When I returned from hospital, I cuddled one hour with my buddy who refused food after my second day away and was so mourning my absence. After the long cuddles, he felt much better and I looked as If I got my pre-winter coat. 😂 So good to be back and to have some weeks of recovery. Means: plenty of time for creativity - Bonus 😅. Have a lovely and creative weekend!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Awwww so happy your cuddles made your fur fellow feel much better. Yes, dog fur is a symbol of how lucky we are to have our fur family in our lives and how loved they truly are. Cheers, Christine 💙🪡🧵

[@anitajansen5610]

Beautiful, Ilve the ribbon switches. I collect them but try it yet👍🧡💐

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Anita - the ribbons create lovely texture and shape. Cheers, Christine

[@lisazilaro6906]

I really enjoy your videos and I know the excitement you felt when you founded the vintage sewing box, I found one at a thrift store near me about a year ago, there’s a sticker inside that said: A-S Strommen Bunk Hamor . Product of Norway , it gave me a little information about the box. Enjoy, I know I’m so excited to have one. Thanks for sharing 🧵🪡♥️

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

I’m so happy you found a vintage sewing box too and good yours had a label so you could research. Happy thrifting 🤗 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@creepycutiecrafty]

I love that ribbon petal technique. I might give it a go for myself soon. The “mint and cherry” sort of colour theme is so pretty. It’s almost cute! (Try using an American or English accent for the GPS - I had one a few years ago that wouldn’t recognise destinations in an English accent!😂)

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Look forward to seeing you play with ribbon embroidery 🤗 and thanks for the GPS tip 💛

[@patriciapage7197]

It’s looking beautiful Christine TFS . Your a bad influence I’m going out tomorrow with our daughter, I’ve already told her we are hitting the charity shops (thrift) I want a vintage cake stand for some off my threads. I blame you after watching your fab video the other day seeing you keep your wooden cotton reels on your cake stand . Umm wonder what ease I may find 🫣 xxx

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Ooooh - I look forward to hearing what you find on your thrifting adventures. A perfect mother and daughter day out 🤗

[@patriciapage7197]

@@createandcraftwithchristine my feet are killing me lol . We went into 12 charity shops luckily I found a cake stand in the first one we went into . Also a cute little cup and saucer I’m going to make into a pin cushion . Will pm you a photo . Didn’t find anything worth getting in the others . xx

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

@@patriciapage7197 wow you really did do a very thorough charity shop! Loved seeing your finds and look forward to seeing your makes. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@marthamanigross]

Beautiful piece. Ribbon embroidery is such a fun way to add texture and is so pretty. Just a suggestion, you don’t always have to move the camera stand to zoom in, you can zoom your screen in and out as well. Less stress on the camera stand then too. 😊

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Martha - love playing with ribbon and thread. And thanks for that tip - will have to give that a go for sure! Cheers, Christine

[@leannescraftycupboard]

So pretty! You must be enjoying a lovely holiday as we speak? We have always been amused how computerised voices pronounce Australian roads. You will need to learn computer pronunciation to navigate anywhere! I always have to ask Siri to ring Lochie, (pronounced with ch like cheese) or she doesn't understand. I wonder if our language will evolve to computerese?!😆

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

That is too funny about how you have to pronounce Lochie! I’ll have to get into practice if we’re not to keep getting lost 😆 but sometimes that is when you find the best places. Cheers, Christine
