Spent most of the day working on the silk ribbon embroidery (SRE) vest that I started in September. The embroidery is DONE! I hopefully will get it put together either tonight or tomorrow.
Here is the design on the back:
And here are the front pieces:
I am thinking of getting some of those buttons you cover with your own fabric and making buttons with a flower on them for the vest - otherwise I am thinking I need some pretty metal buttons...don't know if I will get to Joann's tomorrow or not - I hear they are having a great sale on batting and quilting notions on New Year's Day...

You took to that SRE like a duck to water! Very pretty!
Beautiful! That wide red ribbon with the yellow and gold in it is luscious ... did you dye it?
Did not dye the ribbons - the store I went to has a luscious array of hand dyes though...but expensive!!! I figure this vest has probably set me back at least $70 for supplies not counting that the base fabric was FREE!
Your SRE looks wonderful - great job! Are you hooked now? =)
