Like you I know little to nothing about Ribbon Embroidery. I have seen some 
very lovely pieces and some demonstrations on tv crafting programs but that 
is the extent of my knowledge... there are a number of folks here that do 
ribbon embroidery... so I am sure they can give you some pointers.  
Interestingly enough I have all the supplies for ribbon embroidery as well as 
a few kits that I have picked up over the last couple of years... but I have 
just not tried it yet. To busy with my RS's and Quilting... and of course 
this move.

OH there are definitly a lot of us quilters out here!!!! and you can be 
assured that when ever a fabric store has a great sale on fabrics or quilting 
supplies you are going to see quilters coming out of the wood work!!!! I save 
my pennies for such occassions and then look out... that is the only way I 
can afford to build my stash and have the fabrics on hand when I am ready to 
begin any project.

with each other there.   that time is Eastern time btw.

I am holding my own so to speak.  As long as I don't over do things and I do 
as I am suppose to do.. ... I do ok.. I 
have be caught in a vicious circle here as of late though... I bottomed out 
on the 4th and have been fighting to get back ever since... but still I feel 
like I am making progress and I am feeling better every day... I would 
definitly like to be taking far less medication than I am but this cannot be 
helped at this time...  thanks for asking... 
Best of luck in getting things into the store and with all these wonderful 
crafty things I know you are going to be doing!!
Julia
