The ever classic houndstooth pattern rendered in black and white marries traditional with modern graphic sensibilities making it one of the most versatile ribbons we offer. Sophisticated for the most modern and edgy designs, yet comfortable with country and farmhouse styles. Those taken with the MacKenzie-Childs™ look can use this for a twist on the usual checkerboard pattern. Choose from all our current houndstooth ribbons for the width and size perfect for you!
Our new ladybug ribbon featuring red and black lady bugs on tan linen style fabric looks smart paired with red and black polka dots. Ladybug Linen, Red Black Mini-Dot, Red Black Polka Dot
A trio of black and white houndstooth patterns. The smaller size of these houndstooths bridges the gap between bold black and white patterns and an entire palette of colors, whether solid, textured or more intricate patterns.
The narrowest, “Houndstooth 9” is 1 1/2″ wide, with a black vinyl edge giving a definitive border to the pattern.
In the 2 1/2″ width, “Houndstooth Mini” the pattern is smaller, while the wire edge is covered in black thread.
The widest, 4″, “Houndstooth 100” has the same size pattern as the 1 1/2″ and features a black thread serged over the wired edge.
Sharing the stage with other black and white ribbons
One customer’s order today. . . .there’s more than one season when red is the color of choice!

These ribbons and more were shipped across the country – and out of it this week! Anytime of year, you will find a vast selection of ribbons for every season in the Cottage Crafts store on Etsy!
A truck pulled up to the Cottage and brought loads of Christmas cheer, Halloween spookiness, games and sports, seafood, birthday greetings, bandanas and dragonflies, and a wide red, white and blue flag. When it left, the roaring exhaust flames could be seen down the street!
Our tractors don’t like to be idle and they’ll start rumbling soon if they don’t find work. But don’t ask them to move dirt! Their area of expertise is the decorative arts and they’re ready to go to work when you are!
A heathered yellow background shows off the detail on the green truck, who specializes in farm decor and summer and spring projects.
Red likes to work in Christmas projects, but feels a red tractor ribbon is equally at home in summer.
Green hastens to point out that green tractors and Christmas are a natural fit and that green is the color of new leaves in spring.
and they brought back a new friend, the red truck. Equally ready to work in any season!
And there’s Pop, a grand green and yellow tractor, off to the side, happy to welcome them back.
Our ribbon combo of the day shouts summer! Bright sunlit days, resting on the porch, warm twilight evenings, hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. Can you say Picnic? In today’s combo, glittering red polka dots, bright moss green gingham, and ladybug check join together, jetting off to Iowa. “Dots In A Line”, “Great Gingham Moss”, and “Ladybug Check”: a perky and cheery summer combo!
Bringing the sparkle is “Dots In A Line”, with red glitter dots lining up in the center, edged with a red and white striped pattern on white faux linen. As this combo shows, the pattern shines for summer projects and, of course, Christmas!
Don’t all good summer designs need a check? One of our extensive collection of gingham offerings, “Great Gingham Moss”, with bright green and white, comes in two widths. There’s the 2 1/2″ used in today’s combo plus a 1 1/2″ width. You can choose 3 yard increments or ten yard lengths.
Prefer a narrower 1 1/2 inch width? Again, you can purchase in 3 yard increments and 10 yard lengths.
Bringing this trio together is the always stately but fun, Lady Bug, a 2 1/2″ wide satin ribbon (made in the U.S.). She contrasts nicely on her green checked field, don’t you think?
