Product Description

Quilters have moved beyond the traditional boundaries of their art, embellishing their work with layers of beads, embroidery, and surface design. They—as well as other fiber artists and sewers—will warmly welcome this idea-packed resource with 24 projects that will open up a new realm of creative potential. The illustrated basics section covers a variety of ways to affix beads to textiles; a quilting primer is included, too, as a helpful refresher. But most of all, stitchers will enjoy experimenting with the featured techniques and making a retro-chic throw pillow, fabric greeting card with appliquéd flowers and seed beads, and miniature wall quilt of a stylized bird.

Beautiful projects, not for beginners4
This book has beautiful photos and some instructions but -much to my disappointment - it is not for beginners. Once I gain more experience I believe I will enjoy it more.

cover pattern excellent1
I purchased this book specifically for the pattern on the cover, which turned out to be relatively well written. There are many other, far superior books on embellishing quilts with beads available. The book dealer however, was terrific, and I will surely buy from her again.
