Ha. They probably would if we didn't try to catch them. LOL
Since I don't know how to start a new thread on here, I'm going to just jump right in with this. Recently, somebody shared this site with us & I ordered the "Ribbon In Motion" (Bargello) pattern. I was having trouble paying for it with Paypal so Pat actually called me today to see how we could get this done. In chatting with her, I was happy to know that these are all her designs. She said that "Ribbon----" is her most popular pattern.

In reading in their "About Us" space, many of the other designs were based on her husb's paintings. What a talended pair.
In reading more about their appliques, I discovered a new product I had never heard of before. It's called Hot Ribbon. Sounds like you use it on the edges of appliqued pcs instead of stitching the raw edges. I'm planning on trying it out on my next applique proj. I just wanted to share this with you.
Pat: Hot ribbon is an embellishment not a sewing tool. You may use it over applique pieces once they have been secured either by hand or machine.
This stuff is really neat . I bought some when the Int'l Quilt Show was here in Chicago. The ribbon has glue on both sides and you attach it with your iron, using a piece of Teflon to protect your iron from the adhesive. They say it can be washed but I would not recommend it. A quick dunk in some cold water would be as far as I would take this stuff. The official website says no-no to the dryer, of course. I would reserve this product to things that you would only spot clean such as: purses, wall hangings,and maybe a table runner that is not going to be used frequently.
