Blog > Beautiful Ribbon Embroidery by Fatima Paruk

 

Honeysuckle Cottage
Don't you just love this lovely ribbon embroidery piece by the talented Fatima Paruk from Kloof in Kwazulu-Natal? It's one of our  Cottages that we printed onto pure cotton fabric for embroidery.  Her teacher, Annamaria Kelly showed Fatima how to make the lovely thatch roof with Lana wool thread from Madeira (but you can also use any thin yarn). The picket fence Annamaria found at her local stationery shop.  She paints the fence if the design requires a different colour.

See the French Knot Roses above the fence on the right? You will find how to make them by reading my blog post here and another one here

Enjoy your day and happy stitching.
Thank you Annamaria and Fatima for sharing your talent with us!
