New grosgrain ribbons from Keri Beyer. She has a fabric collection with In The Beginning Fabrics called Proud, and we teamed up with Keri to produce these ribbons based on the turquoise colorway of that group. The design detail in these is stunning and I love her color combinations. These are truly unlike any grosgrain ribbons I've seen before. Go Keri!
We are selling these ribbons by the yard and by the 25-yard spool. We will be getting her fabric collection by early next week.
New ribbons arrived Friday and they are just gorgeous. The top two shown are from Jessica Jones, who had shown me this design as a fabric. It would be a gorgeous fabric, but I also thought it would be a spectacular ribbon. I think I was correct [blushing].
The next four are from Patty Young. She originally pitched an Aqua colorway for her Andalucia fabric, but alas, it didn't make the cut. But I thought a little Aqua would get us ready for spring. And I couldn't decide between her two Aqua versions of Birdie Damask, so we did both!
All six 1-1/2" ribbons are available by the yard or on a 25-yard spool.
Just arrived are the new jacquard ribbons I had Jessica Jones of How About Orange design.
She was very hesitate when I asked her to design some ribbons- she had visions of doilies and other cutesy motifs, which is really not her thing. But I convinced her to try it and she admitted that she really enjoyed it. And now we get to enjoy her ribbons that make me smile every time I see them. They make me want to buy a piggy bank, go pick up a couple of dachsunds, and go camping. They are available here right now!
I've been so darn bad about posting lately, so I thought I would make up for it with a sneak peek of some yummy ribbons coming in the next two weeks.
Kathleen Rietz emailed me soon after I announced Jessica Jones's fabric asking if we accepted submissions. I was very flattered, because that sounds so "big time", but told her that no, we really were not in a position to accept submissions. I took a look at her website, which features a lot of children's book illustrations and I thought about the tired old jacquard ribbons that we've been selling for five years. I asked her if she would sketch up some fun, whimsical ribbons in her child-friendly style and voila. The ribbons are made and are shipping out of China next week. The alligators make me giggle everytime I see them.
All I see these days are cupcakes, so we had to have a cupcake ribbon.
And the lady bug ribbon is in my favorite green. There's also a new pirate ribbon (I don't have a very good picture of that, so I'll save that until it gets here) and a new flip flop ribbon.
Check out Kathleen's web site and blog and enjoy her other gorgeous illustrations.
The ribbons should be here in a couple of weeks. And like our other jcaroline jacquards, they are not restricted to personal use. So, go forth, you craft and Etsy sellers and buy some ribbon!
And you fabric people-- rumor has it that Sandi Henderson's Farmers Market, Erin McMorris's Park Slope and Heather Bailey's Pop Garden are on the way. Or close to on their way. Or in the box, or something.
