Daisies and Rose Buds

I am basically an engineer, but stitching is my favourite hobby from childhood. I made small rose flowers using satin ribbons for decorating a thanks card for my brother's marriage. Then I thought how it will look like if it is provided on my baby's frock. So I stitched a frock for my daughter and decorated the neck with small rose flowers made of satin ribbon. I was not aware of this silk ribbon embroidery at that time. I came to know about this only two years back. Now I have done ribbon embroidery on four sarees and one top for my daughter and my friends and relatives are really fascinated on seeing that work. I used to browse the web for seeing the works of people who are doing similar type of works.
