Whenever I walk into my favorite fabric store I love to see what new ribbon inventory they have in stock.I love striped, velvet and especially Grosgrain.
The embellishments you can use for ribbons are endless!
Especially when you have the kind of selection that Venus Ribbon offers.
If you have a project or piece of clothing that could use a little punch of pattern, take a look at Venus Ribbon and you could win one free 10 Yard spool of your choice from their online store.

oh my goodness!What a selection...I would choose the Preppy Turtle Jacquard ribbon to decorate our summer picnic basket:)Thanks for the chance to win!
I would get the white/navy or cream/navy stripe and make a belt.
I really like the reversible jumbo dots in pink/red! I would use it for some type of wall hanging for my girls room or maybe for jazzing up curtains in their room
I didn't have to scroll too far! I really like their daisy grosgrain ribbon. I'd pick the tutti frutti color.
I love the selection! If I could choose anything it would either be the Mod SF Satin in White/Cranberry, white cherries, candy dots in white/red or red glitter iron-on ric rac. I would either accent a skirt for my daughter (with matching bow) or use the ribbon to accent some aprons.
I am loving the black and white striped grosgrain. I think I would use it in my boys' room. It has baby blue-ish walls that we made more "manly" by using black and white accents.
i love the Reversible Polka Dot ribbon, i would use it for gift wrapping.
Decisions, decisions, decisions. I could just eat up the cupcake grosgrain ribbon. The possibilities are endless.....
What if I have, like, 17 favorites?!
I just spent a long while browsing the ribbons and trim. My favorites were the Reversible stripe polka dot in b&w and Split Pea grosgrain. I'm thinking of using ribbons as an embellishment ruffle on sewn items. Like a tissue holder I want to make as gifts for my tennis team.I'd love for them to make a pretty tennis themed section.
I love all of the polka dot and striped ribbons. How cute!
I'm happily on their mailing list.
I thought toile ribbon was cute!!!
Pretty! I love the Stripes Pastel SF Satin Ribbon and the Toile Grosgrain Ribbon. I'm planning a Paris themed party for my daughter's birthday and I think these would be so sweet as hairbow favors.
I would have to choose a color in the velvet ribbon to trim the new Colette pattern set of the bralette and shorts! There are so many great choices on here though!
I am new to sewing and never realised there were sooooo many options! Loved all of the ribbons and ric rac especially the pin dot blue and brown grosgain. Thanks
Pretty! I'd use the striped SF Satin ribbon in purple to trim a skirt.
the reverse paisley ribbon is darling!
almost impossible to choose. But if you force me to, I would pick the retro stripe!
I can't decide, but my two favorites at the moment are the Retro Rock, and I would use it to trim a plain skirt, and the Bright Flower Grosgrain in Turquoise, that I would just drape around because it's so happy.
i love the iron on cupcake trim
i would use it to add something fun to kitchen towels

This was a hard one, but I would go with the Jolly Stripes Grosgrain Ribbon (Tutti Fruitti) and make a bunch of hair accessories, like clips or trim on a mini top hat.
I love making hairbows for my daughter, & the cupcake ribbon would make the cutest bow! I also like the jolly stripes ribbon for a Christmas bow.
I also added Veuns Ribbon as a friend on facebook. (Didn't see the option to become a fan, just a friend request?)
I like the dots, especially the reversible jumbo dots.
The Jumbo dots for a headband and a belt!

I like the pin dot polkadot in navy grosgrain ribbon. Not sure what I'd use it on, but perhaps to make reusable gift bag ties. Such a pretty, earth friendly way to give gifts.

I love the reversible stripe dot ribbon - great for crafting! I'd use it on bags probably...
I love the reversible polka dot to make hair ribbons for my daughter. I also love the zebra grossgrain. I'm thinking that I'd add it to a dress for my daughter. I had fun looking at their site! Thanks for the intro!

I love the split pea ribbon! I would love to make it into a flower for my hair or to decorate a purse!

I think I would pick a polka dot in cream or red to go on pillows in my soon-to-be-renovated living room!
As much as I love polkadots and stripes, I'd have to go with the 1 1/2" Geometric Jacquard in Lime/Turquoise. Just because it's so pretty! I have no idea what I would do with it though.
M first instinct is the gold grosgrain ribbon (under weddings) It would be the inspiration and crowning glory on a cranberry dress... but ten I think Polka dots! In any case, I would need to make a whole dress to compliment the ribbon.
my goodness...i want them all so many neat things to do with them!! Thanks
LOVE the Mini Cherries Grosgrain! It would be darling in my kitchen. I want to put it on some pretty kitchen towels. OOoo! I could use it on my little chandelier lampshades too! Too cute!
My favorite is the Reversible Double Heart Grosgrain Ribbon and I would trim tons of the garments I sew for my daughter with it.

So many pretty designs to choose from, such a heartbreaking decision! One of my many favorites is the Cupcake Grosgrain Ribbon, one of the sweetest ribbons ever! It'' be used mainly for gift wrapping and would look so adorable too! Thanks for the lovely giveaway.

Wow such lovely ribbons. i love the toile Ant.White/Dusty Rose or the Mod grosgrain ribbon in White/Salmon.

Hi. I won your cherry pop refashion frock giveaway some time ago and I never received the dress. I emailed your winners address a few weeks ago to inquire about it and never heard back. I was wondering if I was still going to receive the dress? You can email me at pghperambulations at gmail dot com. Thanks.
I love the Mini Cherries pattern! Lovely! I would make the most beautiful packages with it!
naomemandeflores@gmail.com
Wow that's almost too many choices! I love all the striped grosgrains and velvets, but I think my favourite is the 7/8" Flowers Galore Jacquard in green. I'd love to trim some cushions, or maybe if I'm ambitious, a summer top.

wow! I'd get 'athletic stripe' or some 'reverse dot' and I'd make... hair bows for my little gal. :)
I have the chocolate cupcake ribbon - it's so cute! I'd like to make some hair bows with the orange and white Athletic Striper ribbon for school spirit.

I love the Houndstooth Black Grosgrain Ribbon. I think it would be cute for Christmas stockings and a tree skirt.
So much fun! I would probably get the solid maroon, and make bows for my daughter's cheerleading squad!
I love the black and white houndstooth, It is such a classic pattern. I can envision headbands, belts, or cute embellishments for a sweater. The decor possibilities are endless too. Thanks
Oh! The satin ribbons....I like this one:
http://www.venusribbon.com/P1003C1002_SF_Satin_Dot_SF_Satin_Ribbon.aspx?index=3&last=77
What would I make? I can't think well under pressure, but it would be something beautiful!
ooo..I love the polka dots and I think I would use it to make an apron strap!

i love the gumball grosgrain ribbon! i would weave it in with another solid coloured ribbon to make a clutch!
i would get the little miss zigzag ribbon and make a belt

Pretty little things!
I'm a sucker for satin ribbon, so I'd get the polkadoted single face satin ribbon. Use it for gift packaging, of course! but only for super special people. :)
Oh my! So many goodies to choose from! I'd have to go with the Dyno Mite Grosgrain Ribbon. It was a tough decision, though, as they're all so lovely.
Oh my, how is one to choose??? I love the floral reversible jacquard ribbon in that pale green and aqua color. But I think my choice would be for some of that gorgeous velvet ribbon to trim some of my fall projects that I am planning for my daughter's outfits.
They would be the perfect addition!
I like the Retro Stripe Grosgrain Ribbon in Lt. Brown Multi. Thanks!
Wow. Thanks for the info on this place. I love ribbons and didn't know about Venus. I'd have to go for the puppy print grograin to decorate a dog bed I'm making for my puppy. Admittedly the glitter iron trim is enticing as well . . .
What beautiful ribbons! I like the moss green Bandana SF Satin Ribbon. I think it would be cute as straps on a little girls sun dress.
so hard to choose! jester pink and red grosgrain, and the pink and black houndstooth is a close second. what would I make? hairbows, embellish a little girl skirt...
My favorite is Reversible Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon in pink/brown. I would love to fix it on a 50's style dress or maybe on a pant for my daugther. estellita_3@yahoo.com
Oh! The Leopard Grosgrain ribbon in FPunch... my little Birdie would flip for a dress with that as the ribbon tie; it would match her favorite headband, too!
I really like the Stripes Grosgrain ribbon.

Ooooh! Such pretty ribbons! I love them all, but right now the one that grabbed my attention the most was the brown striped satin ribbon (Chocolate Factory). Yummy! It really makes me want some chocolate! I would use it to make so many things. I have some ribbon bookmarks I am working on right now and it would be perfect for those!
I love the music notes and cupcakes grosgrain patterns. There are just so many there! I love the idea of using a hair bow as the gift bow.
Love the Cupcakes and the Gumballs ribbon! I think I would use it for hairbows and gift wrapping! THanks!
I love them all! I would choose any one of the baby ribbons, as I make tag blankets and they would be perfect for that!
I like the flower power sf ribbon, I would use it to make a bow for my daughter's hair
I like the preppy jacquard reversible floral in gold and turquoise. I would use it for a baby dress, around the chest and on the hem. Maybe make a matching bow on a barrette.
I would love the cupcake ribbon to trim an apron for my darling little grandbaby.
Ooh, I could just swim in ribbon! I love every type in the universe. Mmmm
Love the toile ribbon. So pretty for cusions or on boxes

grosgrain ribbon. i've actually been searching online for a specific striped kind (with no luck), but this store has some cute ones. i'd take some basic stripes and some of those pretty gingham colors.
i want to learn to make hairbows for my babygirl (though she's currently nearly bald, so i have some time to get the knack of it!)
I'd choose the pink striper grosgrain to use as waist trim for my daughters tutu!
I LOVE ribbons, I checked the site and I love the light blue mini daisies, the ladubugs, the cherries, the zig zag...I loved them all! I use ribbons on dresses, on crib sheets, on gifts, everywhere I can put them!
Wow! Cute Ribbons! There are several that I would love for trim under the baby section...my favorite is the stripes colors grosgrain ribbon blue on blue! That would be super cute on some pants for my little boy or a tie!
I woulld get the green dinomite grosgrain. It would look great as shoe laces or decorations on a skirt.
Is it silly to be so excited about a ribbon store? So may possibilities!!
At the moment my choice would be the groovy peace grosgrain ribbon. I just embroidered my niece some jeans with a flower power VW bug on them. I would add some of this ribbon the pockets and then make her some groovy hairbows to go with the the outfit.
I would definitely embellish an apron for my daughter with the cupcakes grosgrain
I love the jacquard in spring-a-ling and would use it on a dress for my 4 year old. I love ribbon and love this website!
There are so many! I love cherry!!
I like the dot reversible ribbon! What a great idea!!!
I would use it to wrap a gift. Although I probably come up with a creative idea after I get it! =)
I like the Candy Dots Ribbon!

Oh my, what a selection! I especially love the Tod Grosgrain Ribbon in tealblue/black and would love to use it to embellish a shirt.
