Ann Cox is also the author of the book A-Z of Silk Ribbon Flowers (which I just happen to also have in stock). It is an excellent book and has been very popular here. I first looked at this new book with high expectations.

The last 3 chapters were a surprise and 2 of them I had not seen before.

The final chapter is mounting & framing.
There are full color photos of every step, very clear & very well explained. There are techniques discussed & variations. Basic stitches and how to stitch a variety of silk ribbon bows.
