After the class was over, and I finished all of my ribbons I had an inkling of something I had long ago read that was not in the ribbon section (HA HA) of my library. I love to collect old stuff about embroidery etc. and lo and behold I had found a treasure that I never fully appreciated until now.
This is a correspondence course in ribbon work copyright 1916.
Now I have to read it alllllll.................
Great photos, pretty flowers! I hope you'll loan your books to me when you're finished reading them!
