Exciting news! This year YLI, Corp. and I have teamed up to bring you a new product, my Signature Series of Silk Ribbon Collections. They were just introduced at Quilt Market and Quilt Festival in Houston.
There are five attractively boxed sets: Iced Sherbets, Holiday Celebration, Natural Neutrals, Jewel Box and Kokopelli Pow Wow. Each box contains ten assorted spools of ribbon, for a total of twenty-five yards, all coordinated to the theme. There is an equal amount of 4mm and 7mm widths, a perfect amount for an above average sized project.
Kokopelli Pow Wow
Shown below are two stitched samples. Kachina Dancers is a quilt block using the southwest colors of the Kokopelli Pow Wow Collection and Rebecca is a crazy quilt block embellished with the Iced Sherbets Collection.

My favorite collection is the Jewel box
I love the iced sherbets! The colors are so soothing!
Oh the Jewel Box is just yummy!
I like Holiday Celebrations, this palette is so beautifully Renaissance in spirit.
I love the Iced Sherbets – I am working on a crazy quilt project right now that they would work wonderfully in.
I loved your class at Quiltique in Las Vegas. I enjoyed it so much.. You book also has such good pics for people like me whose machine bobbin thread kept breaking. thanks for coming to las vegas
I love the Jewel Box…beautiful colors!
Natural Neutrals would work beautifully in a project I have in mind.
I love all the color sets, but I do think it would be fun to make some holiday items using the holiday collection! Susan Schrempf is so talented. I'm very hapy to hear about her new book with C&T Publishing!
I've fallen head over heals for the jewel collection! Thank you for putting so many beautil combinations together for us!
i went to her class in las vegas in oct. she is really talented
I love the Kokopelli Pow Wow Collection. Those are my Favorite colors. I love what you did with the SWern block. That gives me so many ideas. I love a new book!!
Iced Sherbets are lovely. I also like the jewels.
Iced Sherbet is my fav, but they are all fab!!
How to pick one? They're all beautiful. The jewel box ones are definitely my favorite, though.
You have to choose a favorite?! That is just too hard to do….but if hard pressed to make a choice, I love the neutrals first and the holiday collection second. :)
Hard choice I figured yet I love love the Kokopelli Pow Wow.amazing colors! so thats my choice…….#2 would be naturals….
Very beautiful!! Since i’ve jsut started using embellishments on quilts I’d have to say the neutrals are nice. Maybe I’ll advance to something brighter and colorful at a later time:)
I think Jewel Box is my favorite-great colors!
Wow..they are beautiful. I think the Neutrals are my favorite. They will work great with my stash.

Absolutely beautiful. I’m very excited to hear about this book. I do love Susan Schrempf’s work. She is so talented. And YLI makes such
delightful products.
Difficult to pick a favorite set, but I’d certainly love to play with insights from this book with some holiday projects and use silk ribbon to help embellish. Such fun!

It’s a hard choice, but I think Jewel Box is my favorite….
I love them all but the Jewel Box set is my favorite.
Wow, really tough cal! I suppose the Holiday Celebration would be the most useful, but I also love the Neutrals and the Sherbets. It's like trying to choose a favorite child!
Jewel box has to be my favorite. I’m drawn to those colors and can imagine the wonderful look of your ribbons in a quilt
So beautiful! I really like Iced Sherbet :-) And what a great book!
Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
Kokkopelli is my favorite… These silk ribbons make me want to learn how to use them, they are so beautiful. Another fun project to add to my list!
I like the jewel box collection- so pretty
I have to pick a *favorite*?!? Yikes! I love the Iced Sherbets that were the basis for the class in NV in October — I loved them and the class so much that I bought three more sets in Houston. LOL! But my favorite — after much dithering — is is probably the Jewel Box set.
Thanks so much, Susan, for giving me that little “tutorial” in Houston! :)
Jewel box is so exciting! I love those colors and the vibrancy. Thank you for being so generous!

All your collections are beautiful. If I have to choose one I’ll pick the Jewel Box.
I have your book and absolutely love it. I just need some ribbon to go with my book I love Kokopelli Pow Wow. It’s calling my name
Oh Susan! These are just what my sister and I hoped for at the Wisconsin Quilt Expo when we saw your lecture and your booth. I”ll pick the Iced Sherbets because I’m sure my sister will pick the Jewel Box. Then we’ll get the Natural Neutrals for the next project. Thanks so much for listening to what your students want!
My favorites are the colors in the Jewel Box collectiion. Thanks for your creative ventures that are a blessing to all of us.
All the collections are just yummy, but if I have to choose just one, Jewel Box would be perfect for the guild challenge I’m working on right now . . . I’ll collect the others later ;-)
The Jewel Box are definitely my type of colors, but they're all great!
Too hard to choose. Silk ribbon is my favorite medium so it depends on what mood I’m in for colors. Since the sun is out today, I will go with Jewel Box so the sun can reflect off the gorgeous colors.
Iced Sherbert would be nice and I believe it would go great with 30’s fabrics…. but since I’ve fallen head over heals with ULTRA BRIGHT, SHOUT IN YOUR FACE COLOURS, I’d think that I’d prefer “Jewel Box”…
*grin*
But, HEY! if you draw my name, I’d actually take ANY colors you want to send me! *VBG*
I’ve recently learned to do some ruching – flowers and leaves and silk ribbons are FANTASTIC!!!
Tks!

This is the first time I have seen the silk ribbons used in quilts. They add such beauty and really make colors burst. I would like to try the Holiday Celebration or Natural Neutrals or really any. I just started to attend an art quilt group and trying to get out of my shell and these ribbons would be wonderful to try. Thanks
WOW! I would love to win your Jewel Box ribbons. I love to make ruched flowers out of the ribbon. It is fantastic!
WOW!!! They look DELICIOUS!!!
The jewel box is my favorite.
Geez!, it’s a hard decission, but if I have to choose one (please don’t, I love them all), it would be Kokopelli Pow Wow
I love your jewel tone silk ribbons! I am a Crazy Quilter and love to use silk ribbon. I will use your wonderful ribbons in my next CQ! Thanks for this opportunity to win this gift!
I love the Kokopelli Powow collection. I’m all about bright colors and that collection really nails it!
Kokopelli Pow Wow is my favorite collection. The colors are so pretty !
Tough decision – I think I would have to go with Jewel Box! But, they are all beautiful!!
Oh, my favorite has to be Jewel Box – although everyone of them is beautiful!!!
These ribbon assortments are lovely! Very hard to choose between them — but I’d have to say my favorite is Jewel.
:) Linda
They are all so beautiful and I would love to learn how to do silk embroidery. The crazy quilt in the picture is wonderful! I would choose Kokopelli Pow Wow as my favorite but I love them all!
What an exciting and generous giveaway! Each collection is gorgeous, but I adore the Natural Neutrals. I do so much crafting with organic and natural fibers. These would be absolutely incredible incorporated into some of my pieces. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
The ribbons are all gorgeous — but the jewel box collection is my favorite. Thanks for the eye candy.
Hard to choose, but Iced Sherbets! They will make beautiful floral accents. Just gorgeous.
Susan, My hands down favorite from your silk ribbon collection is Kokopelli Pow Wow!
WOW! Can I love them all? Since I have a 19 mo old granddaughter, I’ll go will the Iced Sherberts. If I were to purchase based upon my quilt work, I’d go with the Natural Neutrals as so much of my work is done with woodsy fabrics.
It was a toss up between the holiday collection and the Kokopelli’s—the latter won out.
love the neutrals…
all are wonderful!
would love to win!
Jewel Box is simply divine. I would love to try silk ribbon.
I love all the colors! If I had to pick one it would be the Iced Sherbets. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
I thought I would like the jewel box best, but I'm leaning toward those iced sherbets….
Iced Sherberts is my choice.
I checked out your site, they are all beautiful colors. I’ve been in the mood to try a solid, architectural type quilt so I’m thinking the neutrals would be perfect. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!!
I love the softness in the colors of the Iced Sherbet Collection. They are beautiful with the Crazy Patch.
I love all the bright colors in the Jewel Box collection.
I ♥ love ♥ love the Jewel Box collection! Yes, that’s my favourit. :) I’d be able to dream of all those sparkly jewels the ribbons are named after!
Well, Gee! how do you pick a favorite when all you can ’smell’ is crazy quilts? That’s what these ribbons immediately made me think of. But the Iced Sherbert would be wonderous with some rich velvets and silks, me thinks. :-D
I would have to say Kokopelli Pow Wow is my favorite collection. I love the colors and they are reflective of other things I buy and like.
I am thrilled at the opportunity to win some of these lucious silk ribbons. How exciting.
Smiles,
Kelly
I love the Jewel Box! (and the rest of them too!)
Kokopelli Pow Wow! gorgeous colors! Thanks for the giveaway!
All the collections are great, but Iced Sherbet is the one that makes we want to design a quilt around the ribbon colors.
Thanks so much for the generous give away.
All of the collections are beautiful and well thought out – but I have to admit that I’m leaning toward those iced sherbets – but the jewel box set is a near tie!
thanks for the chance to win them – I haven’t done silk ribbon work on the machine, but I’d sure love to try it!
What great colors. I love SRE and will check out your book.
I am so thrilled to see the collections of silk ribbon. I am asked all the time where to buy silk ribbon. Being a Crazy Quilter and teacher, it seems harder and harder to find beautiful colors to work with. Thanks for sharing them. Look forward using it and to letting others know where to find it.

I just love your new ribbon line and would be thrilled to call the Holiday Celebration collection mine. I know these are intended for quilt embellishment but I am a fairy maker and see a wonderful potential for my creations. Thanks. And Good luck to everyone.
All of the collections are wonderful, but I think I like the Jewel Box best! I love rich colours….
I always gravitate to the jewel colors, but I also love the softness of the Iced Sherbets collection. The two blocks in this post are lovely!
neutrals! neutrals! neutrals!
They all are beatuful!
Pick me?
I love the iced sherbets!
It’s hard to pick a favourite between it and Kokopelli, but after flipping a coin I’m going to say my favourite is the Holiday Celebration set.
Thanks so much for this giveaway ! All of your collections are great and my fave is the Iced Sherbets
Natural Neutrals is my favorite :) and Holiday Celebration isbeautiful, and…
You know – all of them are so pretty
Jewel Box would be my current favorite. I go through phases in the quilting styles I make, and right now those are the colors I’m into. What a fabulous idea! It really helps when there are coordinating collections instead of trying to pick and choose from separate colors.
Oh, my goodness. How am I supposed to choose? I guess my favorite is the rich jewel box collection…today! :)
I fell hard … in love … with jewel box. I could wrap myself in these colors and sparkle and shine with warmth, enthusiasm, happiness and zest. These colors make my blood sizzle and my imagination take flight. Gotta have them!!!
I love all of them! But I really love the iced sherbets.
I’m coveting the Jewel Box colors. But I’m also eyeing the Iced Sherbets.
They’re all gorgeous!! Thank you!
please enter me into the drawing, thanks
I love the Iced Sherberts. The soft colors and shine are perfect for my projects.
Oh, the colors in each set are amazing! Natural Neutrals is my favorite, though. Thanks for the chance to win :)
Jewel Box
They are all pretty, but my favorite is the jewel box.
All the collections are fantastic, but Iced Sherbet is my favorite. It makes me want to design a quilt around the colors.
Thanks for the generous giveaway.
My, my….all would work in my sewing room. But, since I have to make a decision NOW, I will choose the Jewel Box Collection. Love your gallery of work. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Collections! Your book looks wonderful and I enjoyed looking at your gallery too. I really like the jewel box collection although they’re all yummy colors. Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
Yummy silk ribbons!!! my fav is Jewel Box, though any of them would be a welcome prize!
Ribbons are so versatile for adding to my creations and my favorite of all your collections is the Jewel Box!! Wonderful colors.
This is the first time I have seen these collections. I do a lot of quilting and do some ribbon work. These are just lovely!

I would have to say the Iced Sherberts – I’m in to soft pastels at the moment with two young daughters, still doing the baby things and making the most of it – well trying to :-)
Cheers Jennifer
iced sherbets, multi-purpose colors, good for shading. I already bought the book (and met Susan!) but I'd LOVE to have the ribbons :)
I love the jewel box, those colors just pop!
