I found that incredible part lace/part embroidery fabric. If you are interested in purchasing some, please e-mail me at debsthreads@charter.net and I'll fill you in. It's gorgeous!

Hi Judith -
Oh I wish I had been in Vegas when you were - what a treat to attend this. As one of the other posts asked, do you know who manufactured that incredibly gorgeous part lace/part embroidery piece that you showcased? I've got to find some of this - I'm on the hunt and can't stop now till I find it.
Do you know if it was from Royal Fabrics?
And I'll see you in October (I hope) at the ASDP conference in Portland!! Who knows,if I can find that fabric, it may wind up in one of my fashion show pieces!

I'm a ribbon fanatic, and have never seen this flower before in any of the vintage books, or elsewhere. Thanks Kenneth for the instructions. I was just on a plane home from Portland, Oregon and saw the photo of the circular flower in one of the latest Threads magazines - so I came home immediately and looked it up. I took a beading class from you years ago - and you continue to inspire me today. Thanks for all your sewing contributions!
