River Silks

The River Silks blog likes to show off stitching using their lovely silk ribbons. I have just as much fun looking at them since I really like their ribbons which come in lovely colors and are durable and easy to stitch with.  Recently I discovered a dyelot difference between two cards of the same color but my original card was quite old and might have faded since it was stored in a sunny room.  Since I was doing leaves, two slightly different shades of green didn't matter to me.  Just be warned if color changes matter--Get enough ribbon for your project since the River Silks 4mm ribbon I like to use on 18 count only has five yards on each card and that runs out fast when you are creating flowers.

Back to the eye candy--aren't these Shivering Sheep grasshoppers darling?
