Making award ribbons for quilt show
Somewhere I ran across a tutorial for making award ribbons (for quilt shows). Was it here on the board or not? If not, does anyone know a good site for what I need? I've looked 'til my eyes hurt! ;) Thanks in advance for any help you can suggest. We got a show coming up soon and I'd like to get started a.s.a.p!

The Nacogdoches Texas quilt guild had some very pretty ones. I went to the show and saw them. Maybe someone in their guild is on the board.

Here's a you tube video that assembles a rosette. He uses an old turn table, but you can use a lazy susan from the kitchen:

Here's a pic in case you are not familiar with it: http://www.singer-featherweight.com/...c_ruffler.html They are adjustable, you you might need to experiment a bit with the settings to get a pleat spacing you like. I would then just use a large self covered button for the center. You could embroider something on the fabric first... |
Ive hand counted x st and covered a fab button.
try using the emd machine available now. show uz what you do. |

Here is a ribbon (front and back) from one of my guild's quilt shows:
It is 5" square and made like a coaster with six squares of fabric. Four are folded into half-square triangles with one placed at each side. |
