Sunflowers In Silk Ribbon Embroidery Free Tutorial By Carol Daisy of Embroideries From Daisy's Garden

I LOVE just about any kind of silk ribbon embroidery flower and was was thrilled to see that Carol Daisy had a wonderful tutorial on her Silk Ribbon Embroidery blog showing you how to make sunflowers in silk ribbon embroidery. Enjoy making your flowers.

Sunflowers In Silk Ribbon Embroidery

Here's what Carol had to say about her tutorial: Hi Everyone, Sorry it has been so long. You know what it is like, not enough hours in the day. You have your day planned out and then *** bingo, it takes a whole new direction. These days most of my time seems to be taken up with administration and not so much time actually doing SRE. It is so peaceful to just spend the time working with Silk Ribbons, sometimes I even get withdrawal symptoms.

I took some photos of these brilliant Sunflowers while in Brisbane earlier this year. So large bright and cheery, even with showers threatening overhead.

Carol's Bio: My life is at the stage that I can indulge in my interests of Embroidery and Crafts. Ribbons,beads,threads, laces and trims all have a special place here in my studio.

My childhood was spent on the family dairy farm in Toowoomba, Queensland. When I was about 12 years old, my Grandmother (nicknamed Daisy – hence the name Daisy’s Garden) introduced me to the joys of needlework. I am so thankful to her for giving me a skill that I could enjoy and build upon for life. After the chores were done, whenever I had some spare time, I would sit quietly on the front porch and stitch away. I remember these times so fondly. When I retired, and finally had some time to myself, I had the desire to do embroidery again. I didn’t get far with the fancy work tablecloth however, once I discovered Silk Ribbon Embroidery, I became addicted!
