Here's what Carol had to say about her tutorial:No need to replicate nature with these, you could go way out with bold colours, larger, add sequins and beads for a more whimsical or artistic impression. Have fun with these, add them to your embroidered gardens and bring some life to it.

Carol's Bio: My life is at the stage that I can indulge in my interests of Embroidery and Crafts. Ribbons,beads,threads, laces and trims all have a special place here in my studio. 

My childhood was spent on the family dairy farm in Toowoomba, Queensland. When I was about 12 years old, my Grandmother (nicknamed Daisy – hence the name Daisy’s Garden) introduced me to the joys of needlework. I am so thankful to her for giving me a skill that I could enjoy and build upon for life. After the chores were done, whenever I had some spare time, I would sit quietly on the front porch and stitch away. I remember these times so fondly. When I retired, and finally had some time to myself, I had the desire to do embroidery again. I didn’t get far with the fancy work tablecloth however, once I discovered Silk Ribbon Embroidery, I became addicted!

Silk Ribbon Embroidery Tutorial - Tulips By Carol Daisy of Embroideries From Daisy's Garden

Silk Ribbon Embroidery Tutorial - Tulips

Copyright © 2009 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Carol Daisy of Embroideries From Daisy's Garden.

Here's what Carol had to say about her tutorial:  TULIPS  - Simply constructed in Ribbon Stitch, the effect of the petals are changed by using Side Ribbon Stitch. Instead of taking the needle through the centre of  the ribbon, place the eye of the needle on the left or right seam of the ribbon. As the needle is pulled through the ribbon curls toward the entry point, thus giving the petal a slight rolled edge. As with Iris the leaves are stitched in the same manner. With a fold, curled, straight, or twisted.

El-Masri Comments Roundup

It is now two months ago that the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights delivered its judgment in the case of El-Masri v. Macedonia on extraordinary rendition. This important judgment has led to a number of interesting comments and reactions. For your convenience I assemble them here.

The case was commented upon in a range of law blogs:

- 'Extraordinary rendition gets to Strasbourg – a right to the truth' on UK Human Rights Blog.

- 'Condemning extraordinary rendition: El-Masri v. the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia' on Strasbourg Observers.

- 'European Court: U.S. Extraordinary Rendition “Amounted to Torture”' on American Civil Liberties Union's Blog of Rights.

- 'ECtHR: Macedonian Government Responsible for Torture of El-Masri' on iLawyer.

- 'The ECtHR Finds Macedonia Responsible in Connection with Torture by the CIA, but on what Basis?' on EJIL Talk!

In addition, a large number of human rights NGOs reported on the case:

- Public Statement by Amnesty International and the International Commission of Jurists

- Open Society Foundation

- Human Rights Europe

- American Civil Liberties Union

- Interights

- Amnesty International Ireland

- Amnesty International USA 

The whole case was to an important extent built on information gathered by PACE rapporteur Dick Marty, who for years investigated the secret detention sites in Europe and the practice of rendition. See e.g. this report of his in which El-Masri is reported on as a case study.
