Would people be interested in a set of designs that are bows and ribbons that could be combined? The bows could be in the corners to make a frame and then different lengths of ribbon that would kind of connect to the ends of the ribbons in the corner bows and make an oblong box or square. Or one bow could be in the center of the top of the frame and then the ribbon connect to that and maybe go around the corner. What about one of the connecting ribbons being curved to make an oval or circle and still connecting to the bow? It could contain a monogram. Maybe they could have little flowers like baby's breath, tucked in the loops of the bows too. The bows and ribbon could be maybe two colors to achieve the look of the curves and then the flowers a contrasting color, either with or without leaves. Or it might be cool done up all in one color.

I was thinking to make up a pillow for a baby gift and put the new baby's name, birth statistics and parent's names in a certificate style on it. I just thought that loopy/wavey ribbons would make a nice edging. It probably couldn't be real large because it would have to leave room for the lettering and my largest hoop is for a Janome 10,000. I hope this is something that is doable. Thanks.
