I picked up some bookle...Aww, thanks Rebecca! :-) <br /><br />I picked up some booklets a few years ago when they were on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Specifically, they were from the Anna Griffin Decorative Stitchery collection and I got the "Josephine" and "Victoria" books. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_gnr_fkmr0?rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Ck%3ADecorative+Stitchery%5Cc+Transfer+Pack&keywords=Decorative+Stitchery%2C+Transfer+Pack&ie=UTF8&qid=1383690395 I also purchased a "lot" of ribbon embroidery supplies from eBay and that came with some booklet from the 90s. It had just as much information as the Anna Griffin ones, but I found the uninspiring colorways and designs to be surprisingly off-putting and hard to use for ideas.<br /><br />All that to say that you can find instructions for how to do the stitches just about anywhere, but I really recommend the Anna Griffin books for inspiration. :-)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-35550195861752147542013-11-05T16:21:00.399-06:002013-11-05T16:21:00.399-06:00Thanks, Brigid! :-)Thanks, Brigid! :-)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-82609000846618323672013-11-05T16:15:44.423-06:002013-11-05T16:15:44.423-06:00Thank you, Gabriela! :-)Thank you, Gabriela! :-)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-8392675348394252822013-11-05T16:14:24.443-06:002013-11-05T16:14:24.443-06:00Thank you, Cheri!

Was it hard at first?<br /><br />I have a reproduced Titanic handbag (ie, movie reproduction) that I'm wanting to finish with a frame, but haven't yet. This gives me the inspiration to settle on buying one soon.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279806588780362328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-66142280052617324512013-11-02T09:23:24.528-05:002013-11-02T09:23:24.528-05:00So pretty!

I just scored 3.5 yards of aubergine rayon velvet at a garage sale yesterday for $5... Was thinking of a Christmas dress for L. I'll bet some ribbon embroidery around the neckline would be lovely! Hmmm, will have to ponder that... :-). Anyway, sorry I can't help with the frame issues... I haven't made this kind of purse before, just drooled at frames online. ;-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234162572763034574noreply@blogger.com
