I am working on my UFO's in my off season from work this winter. One is for a just retired gardener at a historic site. His favourite flower is the gladiouis (spelling) or glad for short. He had even created a species of this plant. I have the tea towel transfer of the "Colonial Girl" watering a garden. Even though our historical era is not colonial but hoop skirt it works. I have 2 other of this series for another retired members of the village/



Does anyone know of a ribbon emb glad or a brazilian emb glad./ pattern?



That would be the perfect flower for the girl to water.



ANy ideas or sources would help.

Or all of the above?

Bruce's ribbon pattern looks easy enough

But if you get desperate, let me know off list and I'll see if I have a smallish pattern for a glad that might work and I'll send you the chart.

IT's now 11:15 in the morning and I found my enclycopedia of ribbon emb flowers by Deanna Hall West, sure enough there wa a glad, The last time I did ribbon emb., I remember designing my own flowers, painting the ribbon etc. I wanted something a little quicker and easier. It can take my mind a while to put all the pieces together.

Thanks Bruce and Cheryl, those designs are lovely. When it is finished I will photogrraph it and set up a place to view my embroidery.
