* redwork ABC ribbon
Posted on May 27th, 2006 by maitreya. Filed under Cross Stitch/Embroidery.
A little something for the trimswap: embroidered twill tape, ala this Japanese craft book (and this inspiring picture in particular). Bella Dia also posted her version a while back, which made me think it was actually do-able, rather than totally insane, to embroider a whole yard of ribbon. I originally planned to change colors for each letter, but the red looked so nice that I’m sticking with it for the whole bit.
Geeky confession: it bugs the hell out of me that the thick side of the A is on the wrong leg, which I only noticed when I consulted an actual font for advice on the little a. I am trying to tamp down my OCD about it and not unpick it.

The imperfection gives it more character! Love it!

Laughing at your geeky confession. I’m happy to know I’m not the only one!
Love the tape…charming!

Very nice. I like the all red too! And the “A” looks great to me, but I know what you mean. Once, you find something that’s not quite right, it’s hard to step back.

Oh my gosh, the embroidered twill tape is so cute!

That looks really cute. I get the OCD thing. I don’t think I could stand to leave it, though it does look absolutely fine. I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out. I love the red on cream.

Love this twill tape! I do understand obsessing about one imperfection, but like marybeth said, it gives it character that only you will know about.
