Wow!!! I am blown away by April's two beautiful and unique ruffle ribbons. It's so neat to be inspired by others' artistic creations. I appreciate the postcard and card, too.
Thanks a million, April! You rock! :-)

Marilyn,
Your struggles paid off. The tulle was the icing on the cake. And the buttons are great - they add to the eclectic concept. And-your packaging is adorable.

Ida the buttons I used were old ones from my button box. I looked for some metal ones that matched but this seemed to be it.

I'm so happy that it finally arrived! I'm glad you like it!
I fought with that tulle!
I had ordered 3 bolts to tie melons and squash up so they would not break off too soon . Then I decided to ruffle some
For your ribbon...oh my!

I received Marilyn's ribbon today - "Great minds think alike". We both chose animal prints - I love it!! Marilyn's creation is in the 1st & 2nd photo. Isn't it great? Mine is the 3rd.
Thank you Marilyn !!!

Ida Jane, I mailed your package on the 21st. It was supposed to reach you on Saturday...but when I never saw a comment I looked for the tracking info. It will be arriving late! I think it is in the LA
Area.

April, I happily embrace any chance to think of fall right now, hoping those thoughts will have a cooling effect! :) This was fun, and I'm super inspired, I'll go join right now! Thank you for hosting again, you rock! (and here I go again with so many exclamation points!!) =D

I ironed it with Mary Ellen's Best Press. I just used left over pieces of fabric that were too small to use for anything else.

Hello everyone!
A huge thank you to Marie, I ADORE the ribbon you sent! It's made of such a cheerful combination of fabrics and I love the selvage connecting all. And it's softer than the one I made! Don't laugh, but I may just carry this around with me for a few days because it makes me smile! :) And I always love the paper folding you do, it's so intricate and shows how patient and talented you are. Thank you also for your lovely note, I too had a couple of "draft" ribbons and still plan to practice! Yours ended perfectly, thank you again!
Have the very best day!

I received two ruffled ribbons from Jill with some goodies.
The ribbon on the right is a snippet ribbon. I tried to make one and was unsuccessful. I was also sent a note, loose organic chamomile tea, a small package of Walkers shortbread (yum) and two circular paper signs. Each fabric ribbon was wrapped in tissue and tied with the yellow polka dot ribbon. Thank you for all that was sent. The ribbons are great.

Hi Patsy, So glad you received it. It said Saturday but when I checked yesterday, it said out for delivery. Actually, I went off the Memory rolls more than just the ribbon. The rolls, are rolled up & tucked inside a pouch . Some use material from loved ones clothing & photos sewn on. They are especially precious if the the loved one is deceased. A memorial to them, like the Victorians were known for ;-)
