Wild Roses
“Wild Roses”, this Tuesday’s Twilt, combines the technique I developed ten years ago, Cathedral Windows by Machine with a technique I love and had missed, Silk Ribbon mbroidery. The borders of this Twilt have three-dimensional triangles with their bias folds rolled into curves, the part that is Cathedral Windows.
In the center I have a bouquet of roses. embroidered with silk ribbon, accented with pearl cotton and beads. 
The background is a crinkled batik that I quilted with different colors of thread. The ribbons used for the roses came from my collection of silk ribbon that I have painted and dyed.
I hope you like it!

I really love this – the silk ribbon embroidery makes it extra special.
